Students used a Zynq-based port of Free-RTOS to learn about Real-time operating systems. Through a series of laboratory assignments, students are taught how tointerface the RTOS with custom hardware that they place on the FPGA portion of the chip

Learning through DesignFindings from initial field studies of this work have focused on better understanding informalexperiences related to design [30, 31, 32]. With regard to where engineering design learningoccurs, the literature points to various educational contexts that effectively deliver engineeringdesign education. The most common settings include capstone design courses, first-yearengineering courses, and other non-traditional classroom experiences (e.g. Virtual laboratories).Strategies that involve authentic and longer-term engineering design experiences tend to be themost impactful in terms of student outcomes and perceptions, however those experiences are notalways implementable at larger scale. More traditional educational approaches
