to real-time operating systems or they justemphasize concepts of RTOS and introduce basic theoretic topics (e.g., various softwarearchitectures, real-time multi-task scheduling strategies, etc.) in their microcontroller courses[1]~[4] . As a result, students who may have a good understanding of theory and concepts of RTOSdo not have the opportunity to map their knowledge onto real-world implementations. To bridgethe gap between conceptual understanding and concrete implementations, a Real Time OperatingSystem educational platform has been established for EET students in the Department ofEngineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University as well as in theEngineering Technology program at Northern Kentucky

IntroductionMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) capstone experiences are tasked to develop studentcompetencies in applying technical and non-technical skills via the design, implementation, andtesting of projects [1]. In 2015, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) revised MET program outcomes such that MET capstone projects should ideally bemultidisciplinary in nature [2]. The desired

[1]To a large extent, there is a great deal of latitude given to the design of a capstone course. Thecontent of the course may be influenced by several factors including the geographic area theuniversity services, the main focus area of the program (industrial, commercial, or residential),the program’s philosophy, the faculty's experience and expertise, and the perception of industry'sneeds.
