Expandable and Robust Laboratory for Microprocessor Systems

Abstract

We present the design and use of McGumps laboratory kit for teaching microprocessor and embedded systems. The kit facilitates efficient learning of relevant hardware and software design techniques that will not get outdated soon. We describe the typical use of this kit in our courses.

Improved Student Learning Of Microprocessor Systems Through Hands On And Online Experience:

“…Research has shown repeatedly that discovery learning improves the understanding of complex systems 3,4 . Through measurement of microprocessor systems, students can experience hands-on discovery learning at a much greater level than simply observing LED's and pushing buttons.…”
