After completing this course the student will be able to understand the Design Principles of Modern Processors and Bus Systems. In addition, the student will also learn how to implement programs with assembly programming language in order to understand the internal components of the Central Processing Unit. The skills learned in the lectures must be applied in the exercises. Furthermore, the students will learn about the Design Challenges (Optimizing Design Metrics) as well as the Design of an Embedded System. It is to mention, that after the course, the students are able to develop a secure and safe Embedded System.

The course develops lifelong learning, critical and analytical thinking as well as problem modelling and solving skills.
