We envision that thistype of project can be implemented effectively as a regular course so students can learnhands-on experience in system engineering design that cannot be found in a text book. Page 22.986.2 I. Introduction Embedded system design is the lifeblood of cutting edge technology. It is now becomingever increasingly popular with the availability of low-cost microprocessor modules and advancedmodular C programming based development platforms. With the newest designs of embeddedsystems taking over the cellular and PDA industry, embedded system developers are also makinga big move into the energy, military and research
