    This paper describes the modifications made in the course Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, intended to challenge the computer science students to learn low-level hardware interfacing, interrupt handling, and other microprocessors issues, as well as embedded systems through learning microcontrollers. Implementing the changes lead to the improvements in many fields, such as better grade distribution, completion of many practical projects, increased number of passed students etc. It becomes more interesting, easy to learn, while still holding the necessary weight of an important academic course.

    This paper describes a new systematic approach and methodology for teaching hardware based courses to computer science (CS) students. It is a combination of various approaches with a profound goal to provoke deeper comprehension in various topics in microprocessors and microcontrollers details. The computer student programming skills and knowledge (generally high level programming languages and algorithms) is used to program and control processes with microcontrollers. The methodology evolutes around three steps: using visual simulators, incrementally weighted exercises, from easiest to hardest, including supplemental points, and finally working on real hardware controllers. The proposed teaching approaches were developed for the course “Microprocessors and Microcontrollers”, but can be applied to every hardware based course on computer science students.
