This paper describes our approach to teaching operat- ing system concepts in an embedded computing course, including some important aspects of embedded operating systems as well as lectures and labs we developed using Windows CE as an example embedded operating system.1 IntroductionEmbedded computing systems must often perform multiple complex tasks that require the media-tion of an operating system. Operating systems are complex objects that programmers and systemdesigners rely on to perform many functions. When designing embedded systems, the operatingsystem plays a somewhat different role and system designers

During thisthree-week course students complete 22 hands-on construction activities under the supervision offaculty and Air Force construction craftsmen. A sampling of the activities includes wood-frameconstruction, heavy equipment operation, concrete placement, and asphalt paving, as shown inFigure 2.

attested bythe ever increasing number of textbooks which are geared to MAPLE.An equally careful review of the qualifications of the professors in the Faculty ofEngineering and Applied Science at Ryerson Polytechnic University reveals that anumber of them are graduates of the University of Waterloo, Cambridge, Ontario,CANADA, where MAPLE originated. In addition, the fact that almost all theprofessors of the Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science department (MPCS)are very proficient with MAPLE, is probably another reason favouring its adoption.Indeed, several personal computers located in our offices carry MAPLE. Also,several personal computers in our microcomputer laboratories carry the fullversion of MAPLE. It is thus natural to think of

In bringing the program to Boeing, it wasunderstood that the program was to be eventually accredited by ABET. It was thereforenecessary for OIT faculty to teach a substantial part of the courses. This meant that a programdirector with Basic Credentials1 must be found. For the convenience of the students, it was alsonecessary that the courses be delivered in three-hour a day blocks at three Boeing locations.Since many Boeing students had substantial manufacturing experience, it was stipulated that testouts and/or

Theresult is a course with dual, complementary goals: teaching Java-based programmingconcepts and developing computer-enhanced educational courseware.I. MotivationEngineering topics, especially those in Electrical and Computer Engineering, are oftentaught by first presenting the underlying equations and then, by exploring thoseequations, revealing the topic’s fundamental principles. This approach, while common,has the unfortunate effect of postponing intuitive understanding of the topic until wellinto the process, when the
