Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems

EEE 212 is where the abstraction stops and you finally see how a CPU actually drives the physical world — registers, memory-mapped peripherals, and the timing details that decide whether your code works on real hardware. You'll spend most of the semester in the lab writing ARM assembly and C on an STM32, getting GPIO, timers, serial, ADC/DAC, and interrupts to do something useful, then proving it with a project at the end. It builds directly on your digital design background and becomes the foundation for almost everything later — control, signal processing implementations, senior design — anywhere code has to meet a deadline measured in microseconds.
