Abstract-In this paper, the subject of embedded systems education in the Arduino age is examined. Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform that has been widely popular in the past decade among hobbyists and academics. Arduino is increasingly being adopted in courses that span different disciplines in schools and universities. As a result, numerous papers are being published every year in different engineering education conferences and journals reporting the integration of Arduino in teaching. In this work, the impact of Arduino on embedded systems education is investigated. First, challenges facing embedded systems education are identified from the literature. Second, different Arduino teaching integration methodologies reported in the literature are surveyed and analyzed. Third, the question whether Arduino successfully addresses embedded education challenges or not is discussed taking both surveyed findings and recent market trends into consideration. Finally, a number of openended research directions are proposed.

In the present study, we introduce a FPGA‐based educational system called RELI‐EVA (REconfigurable‐Logic‐based system for Implementation and Evaluation of real‐time Video processing and analysis of Algorithms), which has been integrated into a Computer and Electronic Engineering course by following the “learning‐by‐doing” approach. Therefore, the aim of this system is to provide engineering students with an intuitive tool in order to understand the main algorithms for real‐time video processing and create and test some new algorithms before their real implementation in physical systems. Moreover, with the aim of demonstrating the potential of the developed FPGA‐based system, the development of a practical example for edge detection is presented in order to support the theoretical basis of real‐time video processing. Additionally, a qualitative research method was followed to evaluate the proposed tool. A high percentage of the surveyed students corroborated the success of RELI‐EVA as part of an engineering course. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Model‐based system engineering (MBSE) is becoming an industrial standard to design embedded systems. Therefore, its integration in electrical and computer engineering education is critical. This article presents an undergraduate course on MBSE for embedded systems through the formulation of course learning outcomes, identification of the course contents, and the construction of a holistic view for the contents. The holistic view of the course binds the contents by providing the modeling methodology, the transformation engine, and the simulation environment of an end‐to‐end framework. Furthermore, students obtain integrated design experience, through problem‐based learning, using three case studies. Assessment through quantitative evaluation and students' feedback show the viability of the presented course.
