Moreover, the paperwill discuss an effective approach to incorporating meaningful learning opportunities such asprojects, labs, and hands-on experiments in the context of electrical engineering and “systemslevel” thinking. Finally, we will also discuss challenges and solutions in the assessment ofengineering ability and in designing a course in which specific goals, learning

In 1984, he left USC for almost 20 years to be an entrepreneur. Most of his work was in manufacturing, both in Detroit and Japan. During that time, he worked on programming real-time systems using an Agent methodology, which he now teach in his CSCI 201 class. He returned to USC in 2002 to teach full time. Mostly, he worries about how to

If the interface evolves from a “Helloworld” message displayed on HyperTerminal to a full-blown data packet-passing system,chances are that the code is overly complex and difficult to keep running reliably. Techniquesborrowed from internet protocols can help send messages reliably between two devices less thanan inch apart with less effort than one might assume. Since most Electrical and ComputerEngineering students may not have been exposed to extensive computer science courses on datastructures or network protocols (usually elective courses), a few topics could be borrowed fromthese areas for a crash course before embedded systems are introduced.
