New Engineering Course: EE-13 Fundamentals of C/C++ Programming for Microcontrollers

T&M Atlantic is excited to introduce a new foundational software course: EE-13 Fundamentals of C/C++ Programming for Microcontrollers.

As embedded systems, smart home peripherals, and IoT devices become more complex, writing efficient, reliable, and non-blocking firmware is a crucial skill for any electronics technician or hardware designer. While T&M Atlantic offers extensive training in circuit analysis, soldering, and test instrumentation, this new course directly addresses the software foundation required to bring hardware projects to life.

Course Highlights & Key Learning Objectives

Designed for beginners and entry-level hardware developers, EE-13 bridges the gap between basic circuit assembly and advanced microcontroller development:

• C/C++ Core Syntax:
  Master essential programming concepts including data types, memory-efficient variables, arrays, structures, and function design.
• Pointers & Register Access:
  Understand memory addressing, pointer operations, and bitwise manipulation for direct register and peripheral control.
• Non-Blocking Code Architecture:
  Learn to eliminate blocking delay routines using software timers and millis() execution loops—essential for handling real-time sensor measurements.
• Interrupts & Event Handling:
  Program Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) to instantly respond to critical hardware inputs.
• Debugging Techniques:
  Develop systematic approach to code troubleshooting using IDE debuggers and serial terminal logging.

Seamless Course Progression

The EE-13 course serves as the ideal preparation module for students planning to enroll in EE-31 Embedded Systems for Smart Home (ESP32, Sensors, Firmware), providing the coding confidence needed to master Wi-Fi, MQTT, and sensor integration.

Enrollment and Information

• Duration: 10 lessons (90 minutes each), 15 total instructional hours.
• Format: Hands-on coding exercises combined with instructor guidance.
