trendcontinues, the learning curve for tomorrows’ engineers grows steeper and the gap betweendesigning embedded systems in industry and teaching embedded systems development at auniversity widens. Educators are therefore challenged to adapt to advances in embedded systemswhile maintaining courseware that is broken into simple building blocks capable of maintainingcontinuity along the growth path. This requires a rich hands-on curriculum that encapsulatesmodular hardware, software, and courseware that can scale from fundamental concepts to moreadvanced topics.This paper introduces a modular demonstration, development and learning hardware platformand an example set of progressive laboratory exercises that help to meet this challenge. Theplatform includes

Forassessment to be formative, facilitating feedback to students to nurture improvement such thatstudents will perform better in the future, the assessment tasks would have to be progressive /continuous.

Finally, as the students become more capable, the hardware design configuration optionsmay be left completely to the students.The PSoC, like many inexpensive microcontrollers, does not provide an address/data bus formemory expansion. In practice, designers of projects that require additional memory of one typeor another will choose parts with two-wire interfaces such as I2C or SPI. However, mostmicrocontroller systems courses include understanding memory bus timing and address decodingas course objectives. The case may be made that this portion of the curriculum may be moved toa digital systems course, as most low-cost microcontrollers do not include memory bussesanymore. However, if it is considered

At the time, SDR technology was only beginning to mature, the number of optionswere limited, access to the various features of the SDR platform was limited, and the cost of thehardware was relatively high (˜$2000USD). Based on this proposed paradigm, the authorspublished an undergraduate textbook that presented a curriculum for teaching hands-on digitalcommunications education using SDR

The administration wasextremely supportive of the BSEE effort and in the end EWU faculty committees did approve thenew program. Luckily, the HECB created opportunities for “high demand” fields to receiveadditional funding. This resulted in three new department faculty positions. Therefore, internalrelocations were kept to a minimum.III. Curriculum DevelopmentThe most important step in the planning of the electrical engineering degree was, obviously, thecurriculum.

In the original outline of the course,the first eight weeks were primarily focused on working with microcontrollers and developingembedded systems using the C programming language. In the last two weeks, we introduced theinstruction set architecture and discussed microcontroller organization and assemblyprogramming. Since the majority of students had no experience with C prior to this course, thefirst two weeks were primarily dedicated to a quick ramp-up in C programming. Hands-on laband project work is an integral part of the course. There are weekly lab projects, except

1980s an expensive 16-bit ADC had a samplerate of only about 100Ksps. This could only unambiguously sample a signal with a bandwidth of50kHz or less, which was fine for audio, but not for broadband signals, and certainly not fordirect conversion of RF signals. Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) helped advancehardware digital radios in the 1980s and 90s, and helped to usher in the era of digital mobilephones [2]. Today, ADCs operating with tens of Msps are relatively inexpensive, and for muchsteeper price, several Gsps sampling rates are available. This modern DSP technology hasallowed the ubiquitous use of SDRs, which has reversed the role of digital receivers. Relativelyinexpensive SDRs can now be quickly programmed for an

writing will not necessarily improvewriting skills. The students find the assignments disconnected from the course content, anddo not have the knowledge to move into disciplinary writing. Teaching writing, however,takes time away from content instruction. To integrate writing into their curriculum,engineering professors need pedagogical models that provide writing support to studentswithout eliminating content instruction time. The writing studio model, developed byresearchers in the field of rhetoric and composition, provides an environment outside of theclassroom to support the students as they develop into disciplinary writers.
