Abstract


An Embedded System is an integration and combination of customized hardware and optimized software designed for a specific function running continously. In recent years, the usage of Embedded Systems all over the globe has increased drastically in different domains of engineering and its applications. There are more opportunites for a fresh engineer with embedded expertise skills. The manpowr require with these skills is a hot cake in the Industry. Designing a curriculum for embedded system course in engineering education is certainly a challenging task and shout meet the requirements of the Industry standards. Today exploring different ideas and innovation of new techniques are mandatory for a fresh engineering graduate. Hence Project based active learning teaching methodology is essential in the area of Embedded System Engineering and Micro Processors & Micro Controllers courses. A project based and active learning teaching methodology is developed and applied to these courses. This paper presents the procedure to implement a teaching methodology to develop embedded systems for different applications in the area of Engineering Education. This paper also discusses the results for the case study projects for the above mentioned courses. This teaching methodology is applied for ARM9 processor based embedded system development project used for telecom applications and the outcome of these courses are explained with the results. The outcome of this course is a research paper presented at National Conference is also discussed.

Keywords

Embedded System, Embedded Engineering Education, Micro Processor and Micro Controller, Active Learning Methodology, Course.
