1. INTRODUCTION
Electrical Engineering has grown exponentially in terms of new technologies, ideas, principles and
applications. it is concerned with understanding, designing, implementing and using systems,
ranging in complexity from simple electronic components, via integrated circuits and embedded
systems to large scale semicontinental power systems and information networks as vast as the
internet.
Thisintellectuallychallengingsubjectunderpins thecoretechnologiesofthe21stcentury,andcan
bearoutetomanydifferentcareerpaths.TheboundariesofElectricalEngineeringextendfrombasic

2. JUSTIFICATIONFORTHEPROGRAMME
The recent past has been characterized by economic liberalization leading to broadening and
diversifying the demand for Electrical engineering graduates. There is an upsurge in the private
sector leading to creation of new jobs that require specialized graduates. In order to satisfy this
demand,theDepartmentofElectricalEngineeringhasreviseditscurriculatoaddressthisemerging
issueandthereforeattractmorestudents.Thisdocumentdescribestheregulationsandcurriculum
for the Bachelor of Science degree programme in Electrical Engineering as offered at Makerere
University. The curriculum was developed with the involvement of many stake holders following a
topdown approach, i.e. identifying the projected onjob requirements after graduation and then
organizing them in hierarchical manner with fundamentals at the beginning level and becoming
more application oriented and advanced for subsequent years. At the same time, the suggested
syllabi is at par, in content and scope, with Electrical engineering syllabi of various contemporary
leadinginstitutionsacrosstheglobe.
The revised curriculum provides sound theoretical approaches to the various Electrical and
Electronics engineering disciplines supplemented by handson laboratories and computer skills to
apply the theoretical knowledge to practical engineering problems. Additional practical training
componentssuchasWorkshopPracticeinthefirstyearandIndustrialTrainingintherecesstermsof
the second and third years of study introduce students to actual field practice. The program is
conductedthroughcourseworkandexaminations.Atthefourthyearofstudy,studentsareprepared
to do independent supervised study in the area of their choice. Students can enroll for the
programme with the intention of achieving the qualification of a Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering(BSC.EE).

CourseObjectives
To provide students with an understanding of microprocessorbased systems and their use in

To Investigate microprocessorbased systems, produce software for a microprocessorbased
system, interface microprocessorbased systems and understand usage of programmable logic
controllers
DetailedCourseContent:
Microprocessorbasedsystems: [16Hours]
Historical and technological background, Types of microprocessor: speed of processing and data
transfer, cost, i/o facilities, physical size; types drawn from 8,16,32 bit systems, single
chip/microcontroller and multichip systems, dedicated/embedded and PC/workstation systems,
CISC and RISC processors, Intel and Motorola types. Applications: control systems (e.g. car engine
management, robotics, distributed control systems, printers); instrumentation systems (e.g. data
acquisition and logging systems, indicator display systems, 'intelligent' panel instruments);
communication systems (e.g. facsimile machines, modems, radio transmitters, radar systems);
commercial systems (e.g. eftpos systems, electronic bank teller machines, handheld stock loggers,
PCs)
Softwareforamicroprocessorbasedsystems(microprogramming): [18Hours]
Design software: algorithms in the form of a structure chart showing actions and conditions or in
pseudo code (structured English), in sufficient detail to allow coding to proceed. Specification: the
specifications should be sufficiently demanding to require modularization and the passing of data
between modules. Specifications should focus on the use of microprocessorbased system in
applications requiring interfacing to devices such as lights, switches, motors, heaters, dumb
terminals,keypads,LCDandLEDdisplays,printers,ADCsandDACsandothercomputersystems.
Interfacing: [11Hours]
Interfacing techniques; Timing and synchronization interfaces; IC peripheral chips; Programmable
parallel interface: devices in this category include M68230 PIT, 8255 PPI, 6522 VIA and Z80PIO.
Interruptsshouldalsobeconsidered.Programmableserialinterface:devicesinthiscategoryinclude
