Quantitative and semi-quantitative aspects were evaluated using weeklyhomework and two in-class exams. Qualitative understanding of the material was tested byrequiring student teams to orally present important nano-subtopics and have each student to writea self-selected (but faculty approved) “Nanotracts” paper. The Nanotract papers condensed, andcritically commentated on, very recently published research papers in the nano field at the fullpublication standards of the peer research literature.

In this course we spent the majority of the semester learning the MotorolaMC68HC12 instruction set and how to write software algorithms in assembly programminglanguage. The course did spend some time explaining the MCU architecture, but did not fullyillustrate how an MCU is involved in a completed application. Therefore, most students in ourprogram only associated MCUs with complex assembly programming and did not see an MCUas a crucial hardware component in a
