ESE_PROG - Programming 5 / 6 (2026-2027)

Course repository for Programming 5 (Prog 5) and Programming 6 (Prog 6) of the Embedded Systems Engineering track, Software Engineering, HAN University of Applied Sciences.

Welcome to Prog 5

Prog 5 and Prog 6 are the final lap of the programming courses in your ESE journey. Together they work towards one overall goal: becoming a professional embedded software and systems developer.

Prog 5 (period 1) is about object-oriented C++ on microcontrollers (Arduino / SAMD21) and on the Raspberry Pi: writing sensor libraries, designing them with UML, connecting them to the outside world (I2C, MQTT) and testing them. Prog 6 (period 2) builds on that with software-engineering practice - build systems, unit testing, clean code and design patterns - and applies it in the Hackathon and the Challenge project.

Why everything is done with Git

All work in Prog 5 and 6 is done with Git, because it is the only way to reach our learning goals. Git:

• lets several developers work on the same project at the same time;
• keeps a complete history of every change to the code;
• makes it easy to revert a change or recover an earlier version;
• helps you resolve conflicts between contributions efficiently.

More importantly, it takes you out of an artificial learning environment and into the professional field: the companies where you will do your internship and, later, land a job use exactly these tools. Being fluent in them is part of being a professional - see Coder vs Developer vs Software Engineer: what's the difference?

Handing in your work

Put your assignments in a (private) Git repository and add your lecturer as a collaborator (GitHub username jakorten). Commit as you go - a repository with a real history of small, meaningful commits is part of what is assessed.

Prog 5 schedule and deadlines (period 1, 2026-2027)

The course starts on Thursday 3 September 2026 and runs for seven weeks. Every week combines one design principle, a C++ topic and a UML topic, and every Friday there is a lab. The first two labs are Git and Requirements; from week 3 onwards the Friday lab is the next step of one sensor library that grows week by week (the BME280 is the concrete sensor we use; another I2C sensor works just as well). The same seven-step plan is on the schedule slide of every lecture deck.

Each assignment is introduced in the lecture of the week listed below and is due one week later, on the Thursday of the following week. Full hand-outs: Prog5/Assignments/.

Resit: assignments that were not handed in on time, or that did not pass, can be (re)submitted until the resit deadline of Thursday 29 October 2026.

Assignments 3-8 all build on the same sensor library (the Friday labs are its steps), so keep it in one repository and let its history show how it grows: from a first Arduino version to a tested, refactored Pi library that publishes over MQTT. Starter code per week is in Prog5/Code/ (week2: the wrapper library, week4: Linux I2C bus, week5: sampler + MQTT).

Learning outcomes

The learning outcomes below follow the HAN engineering competencies used in the rubrics (Analyze - Design - Manage - Control - Realize - Professionalize). Prog 5 lays the foundation; Prog 6 raises every outcome to a professional level and assesses it in the Hackathon and the Challenge.

Prog 5 - after period 1 you can

Prog 6 - after period 2 you can

Assessment: Prog 5 by the weekly assignments (see schedule below); Prog 6 with the Hackathon and Prog 6 rubrics.

Repository layout

How to use

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/AEAEmbedded/ESE_PROG
2. Arduino sketches (*.ino): open the sketch folder in the Arduino IDE and upload to your board.
3. CMake projects (workshops): configure out-of-source, e.g.

   cmake -S Prog6/Workshops/UnitTesting/Source/TemperatureTestFinished -B build
   cmake --build build
   ctest --test-dir build

   Build directories are ignored by git - do not commit them.
4. Refer to the keynotes, labs and workshop READMEs for instructions.
