A Software Package for Enhanced Student-Learning in Real- Time Embedded-Systems NetworkingAbstractToday, embedded systems networking is common in manufacturing, automobiles, medicalequipment, and home appliances, but few undergraduate engineering and technology curriculateach courses devoted to it. Not having appropriate educational experiences risks a decline in UStechnical expertise. Various companies have developed commercial software packages foranalysis, diagnosis and simulation of real-time embedded-systems networking protocols.However, these commercial software packages are very expensive and complex to be used forundergraduate courses. We have developed a user-friendly and easy-to-use software

Currently these models tend to be created through theuse of sophisticated 3D software to acquire the accuracy that is demanded inengineering computations. Similarly, computer generated 3D models are alsooften used to study architectural
