In this paper a methodology for teaching and learning the modeling of embedded systems and, in a more generic vision cyber-physical systems (CPS) is presented. To this end, a subset of tools from UML is used in an intuitive and ordered way starting with an informal description of the system until implementation details are obtained. However, the codification of the system is left out as the programming language depends on the hardware platform to be used. The method has been used in grade courses for several years now with an important accumulated experience that shows how students are able to adopt it and learn to elicit the different types of requirements, actors and functions.
