Basic understanding of MCU applications
Major Job Outcome
What will Attendees be able to produce or accomplish back on the job after taking this training? State it as a noun-phrase, for example:
"Customized LoRaWAN demo application using the SAMR34 Module"
Customer will be able to compile and execute their own PIC16F1xxx application using State Machines on a Microchip Demo Board using MPLAB X, MCC and XC8 Compiler.
Due Date
August 15, 2020
Getting Started with PIC16F1xxx using State Machines
Replace "Course Title" with your course title.

Main topic
Course Outline
Coaching Interview 3. Develop a Course Outline
From the Job/Task analysis, group content together into chapters and name the chapters.
"Knowledge" (Concept/Fact/Principle) bubbles map to "Lessons"
"Procedure" bubbles map to "Lab Exercises" or "Quizzes" or other hands-on activities.
Typically, a 1:1 relationship exists between Major Tasks and Chapters. However, you are free to group knowledge and procedures from several different Tasks into the same Chapter in the course outline.
When finished, the TTE will produce a course outline in word format that captures this structure.
