Learning outcomes |
At the end of the course the student should be able to:
1) Know the mechanisms of data acquisition (input) by computers and how they can control the devices (output) to which they are connected;
2) Understand the structure and technology of the peripheral devices that can be connected to a computer, so that they can be selected or changed in the face of the needs of a specific project;
3) To Follow up the evolution and the new applications of the technologies, being able to understand its principles and characteristics, including the most innovative ones;
4) Develop optimized software, based on the knowledge of the characteristics of the hardware where this software will be executed;
