About embedded microprocessor systems and computer interfacing but its focus is towards embedded systems. Looks like an interesting class, was alluded to a lot in MTE 241.
What is an Embedded System? A computer system designed to perform a task without a human knowing about its existence. Its self-managing. The user can provide input via controls and sensors though.

Note Taking
For this particular course I’ve been kind of regurgitating what is on the lecture slides on here… Since that wasn’t the goal for my conceptual notes (meant to complement course notes, my notes for MTE 325 will be more sparse from now on
