“…But various hands-on training program feedbacks have shown that [6] students can learn better and find it interesting when courses have substantial hands-on components [1] [3]. Courses that have a "handson" nature can provide some fun and excitement in a student's learning experience and ensure that he/she will not easily forget what has been learned [4].…”

“…The fact that embedded systems are key components used in many industries (including the automotive, consumer electronics, military/aerospace, office automation, telecommunication, and data-communication industries) and that demands for qualified embedded systems engineers are increasing suggests that students should be exposed to embedded systems concepts earlier on in their education [1].…”

Exposure to embedded systems is very important for engineering students these days, as almost all branches of engineering make use of embedded computing systems. Exposure to the embedded systems and hands-on learning is usually late in the curriculum if present, and may fail to arouse interest in the students about the subject and related systems. Introduction of Embedded Computing system course at first year level in engineering education helps develop interest in related systems and also help students chose their elective subjects effectively later in the four year engineering course to successfully achieve their intended goals and also give them the edge required to enter the industry with confidence. This paper describes an experience with the usage of embedded development kits at second and third-year levels and proposes the introduction of such a program at first-year level.

“…Studies suggest that there are many learning tools involving the use of robots in computer instruction; these studies show significant achievements by analyzing questionnaires and follow‐up surveys of students . In addition, it has been found that a goal, such as a prize competition, can effectively motivate students .…”

This practical report analyzes a programming class using a micro robot (MR), the smallest soccer robot in the RoboCup world competition. This class examined the effect of using the MR as the actual equipment employed in programming. Questionnaire results on this class revealed that these teaching materials evoked a heightened programming interest among students. Moreover, the problems related to programming instruction using an MR were better understood; therefore, a strategy for improving the related problems is discussed here. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The transition from traditional circuit-switched phone systems to modern packet-based Internet telephony networks demands tools to support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) development. In this paper, we introduce the XinuPhone, an integrated hardware/software approach for educating users about VoIP technology on a real-time embedded platform. We propose modular course topics for design-oriented, hands-on laboratory exercises: filter design, timing, serial communications, interrupts and resource budgeting, network transmission, and system benchmarking. Our open-source software platform encourages development and testing of new CODECs alongside existing standards, unlike similar commercial solutions. Furthermore, the supporting hardware features inexpensive, readily available components designed specifically for educational and research users on a limited budget. The XinuPhone is especially good for experimenting with design trade-offs as well as interactions between real-time software and hardware components.
