A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

NIE-ESW Embedded Software Extent of teaching: 2P+1C
Instructor: Kubátová H., Skrbek M. Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18103 Credits: 5 Semester: Z

Annotation:
Embedded software course acquainted students with the specifics of software development for embedded systems. The course covers the areas from the basic techniques of programming in C language and code optimizations, through typical areas as the reliable software development, embedded operating systems, signal processing, up to sophisticated techniques combined with artificial intelligence.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Specifics of software development for embedded systems.
2. Programming languages.
3. Code optimization with respect to power consumption, cost, and performance.
4. Reliable software development, debugging, and testing.
5. Interrupt, cooperative multitasking, RTOS.
6. Real-time operating systems.
7. Signal processing.
8. DSP applications programming.
9. Software for control applications.
10. Model-based design and HW/SW co-design.
11. Programming of industrial robots.
12. Artificial intelligence in embedded systems.

Seminar syllabus:
Course labs are project-oriented. The topics of student projects reflect the topics in the lectures. Projects also emphasize project management and students' presentation skills.
