Abstract

This paper presents results from a previously published analysis performed on the subject of embedded systems using a didactical approach together with some educational implications. To illustrate the didactical analysis, examples from embedded systems education at KTH in Sweden are given where an exemplifying selection and an interactive communication have been adopted in embedded systems related courses.The exemplifying selection means that education in embedded systems would benefit from teaching 'everything of something' rather than 'something of everything', that is, depth rather than width. The interactive communication strongly motivates experimental work, hands-on approaches and problem based learning in general.
