Abstract

Embedded systems have been an important part of daily human life for a long time. However, in academic education the subject is somewhat new and to some extent undefined. Most courses focus on hardware aspects of embedded systems, and at the same time there is a lack of embedded programming courses. In this paper, we describe our experiences of organizing, designing and evaluating an embedded programming course. We describe course assignments in detail and present pass-rate of each assignment. We also present our improvements for course of upcoming years.
