Teaching complete embedded systems design process with graphical system design methodologies
Shekhar Sharad, Karl J. Muecke · 2007
Embedded Systems Design is becoming essential for engineering students of all majors, not just electrical engineering or computer science. However, using traditional techniques to teach the embedded design process — including the process to design, prototype and deploy an actual embedded system in a semester with traditional approaches presents substantial challenges to educators, especially teaching non-EE or CS majors. In this paper, we will explore an increasingly popular embedded design methodology that employs graphical design techniques to teach students the complete embedded systems design process in a semester and illustrate how graphical system design influences each of the three stages — design, prototype and deploy with real-world examples
