Microcontrollers in Education: Embedded Control – Everywhere and Everyday Eduardo Montañez Freescale SemiconductorAbstractMicrocontrollers (MCUs) are used for embedded control in virtually every field of science andengineering. The smallest MCUs have only six pins and are used in toys, appliances, and fortasks as simple as interfacing a few switches in a car door. More sophisticated MCUs haveprocessing horsepower rivaling that of the most powerful desktop computers and are used toperform complex real-time fuel and spark timing computations in modern automobile engines.Everywhere and everyday, hundreds of MCUs drive the

There does not appear to be a significant difference between the choice of processors used for ECE or ECET courses. Intel is the world leader in supplying uP’s for desktop and portable computers, so it is no surprise that 6 of the 26 courses chose to use X86 uP’s to introduce uP’s.

Curriculum: Unified Robotics I and IIAbstractRobotics Engineering (RBE) is a new undergraduate degree program at the WorcesterPolytechnic Institute (WPI). As of the fall semester of 2008, the program is the fourth largestdiscipline at the institution in terms of freshman enrollment. At the core of the curriculum arefour signature courses called Unified Robotics I-IV. The goal of these courses is to introducestudents to the multidisciplinary theory and practice of robotics engineering, integrating thefields of computer science, electrical and computer engineering and mechanical engineering. Thesophomore level courses, RBE 2001 and RBE 2002, introduce students to the foundationalconcepts of robotics such as kinematics

As a first exposure to smart control, the Handy Board is an easy-to-use and robust hobby controller. However, it is not a commonly used industrialdevice, nor is it suited to be an embedded controller for projects in other courses whichthe students take later on.To address these perceived weaknesses, the course content has been expanded to includea module on programmable logic controllers (PLCs). A PLC is another name forindustrial computer. It has been designed to have features which make it very useful inan industrial setting, such as being rugged and reliable, having easy-to-access
