“…The competence dimensions are competences as preconditions, development competences, competences for multi-level development, and the already mentioned noncognitive competences [3], [1]. These results supported the reconstruction of an already existent laboratory.…”

In this paper, an innovative environment to foster students' preparation for embedded systems laboratory is presented. A collection of tools is assembled into a virtual-machinebased environment on a USB flash drive to support the students work outside of the laboratory. Thus, students are enabled to develop applications without the corresponding hardware at a place and time of their choice. Targeted hardware platforms range from Atmel microcontrollers to Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and common Android smartphones. The laboratory, developed by the KOMINA project, represents the application area for our approach. It is accompanied by theoretical didactic research which focuses on higher education, too. The proposed approach is discussed in terms of benefits and limitations. An evaluation confirms the students' satisfaction.

This paper describes the evaluation process of an embedded systems laboratory course by observing students' solution approaches in an embedded systems project. Furthermore, the course's conditions, organization, objectives and a software/hardware environment are presented. This environment allows the relocation of many tasks from the laboratory to the students' home workplace. Additionally, the biggest hurdles for the participants are summarized.

“…These are important questions we have to ask ourselves as teachers of computer design and architecture. Recent studies concerning teaching embedded systems show the importance of an in-depth education not only in computer science but also in the technical implementation of embedded systems, in particular multi-core systems which conquer the embedded domain more and more [1]- [3]. Very soon, embedded processor manufacturers will only offer multi-core solutions which are already state-of-the-art in processors that have been used in desktop and HPC systems for several years.…”

How to teach students current computer architecture? This is an important question in our modern world, where the market of embedded parallel processors is continuously growing. In every compact device today, such as smart phones and tablets, small and powerful multi-core architectures are present. Therefore, there is the need to teach students the whole range of embedded design -starting from the basics of computer architecture through to real chip design.In this paper, we present our experience with a holistic teaching approach in embedded multi-core computing, which covers most aspects of embedded system design. Beginning with the theoretical foundations of computer architecture, a custom multi-core CPU is designed by teams of students and finally transferred to a complete IC layout. As a distinctive feature, the layout is manufactured and packaged. The students will get their own processor chip, which they can test and evaluate. Student surveys show that the students are highly motivated to obtain the opportunity to produce their own chip. This results in active participation in the lessons/seminars and the training of valuable social skills.
