Brief Introduction

An elective course of Embedded
Computing

3-credit course, 3 hours per week.

Has been available for 2 years, over
260 students have taken this course.
Goals

make the student understand the
characteristics of embedded system and
embedded software

understand the features and architecture of
Windows CE, especially the differences from
other embedded operating systems.

know how to customize the OS and how to
develop applications and device drivers.

give the students more practice via one or
two projects.
Achievement

Students show great interests in this
course.

More than 200 undergraduate students
and over 20 graduate students have
selected this course.

It has largest attendance among all the
elective courses
Achievement (continued)

Windows CE club is set et up. Now,
more than 150 members have joined
the club.

Learning by doing

CMU Learning by Doing + the situation
of China + the involvement of software
industry

Use large-scale applied or virtual
software projects

Organize students like software
company members

Organize teaching courses like real
software developing process
Learning by doing (Contd.)

20% teaching, 80% projects

Teachers give the key points to
students; students learn knowledge by
self-study and doing projects. Teacher
works as consultants.

The grading criterion is whether
students can finish software projects
on schedule and on demand.
Sources of projects

1. Consider whether Microsoft can
provide some detailed project
requirements, the projects can be
virtual or real. Students can be
grouped and “bid” for the projects.

2. Students can be organized to join
“Microsoft Windows Embedded
Student ChallengE” competition.

3. Some internal embedded projects in
Training of engineering
experience

During the whole projects, we want to
focus on training the engineering
attainment of students. Not only lies in
the usage of CASE tools, but also in
the management of software process.
From the initial business plan to
analysis and design, coding and
testing, product release and so on. All
of these should be strictly according to
the process of software companies.
Responsibility of the
teacher




Provide fundamental course
introduction and introduction to tools
and technologies.
Help students to build the develop
environment and tools (code
management, bug management)
assort with project process (coding,
testing and communication)
Provide technical support (solving
problems in projects) and so on…
How students get
knowledge

1. The teacher’s necessary explanation.

2. Self-learning. This is the main
approach of getting knowledge.

3. Communications between students.
Organization of the
students



Divided into several groups. Each
students can act as a specific role,
such as：Architect，Program Manager，
Developer，Test and so on.
Each student takes his own
responsibility and finishes the program
together.
In order to let students experience
different roles, we can perhaps put one
student in different groups and let him
/ her act as different roles.
Phase of the projects


Divide the project into several phases.
For example, writing business planning,
project designing, software developing,
testing and software release.
At the beginning of each phase,
teachers or experts from enterprise
can tell the students the tasks of this
phase and important things. At the end
of each phase, teachers or experts
should review the results to see
whether they can pass. If the result
passes, they can go to next phase, or
else, they should redo or modify it.
How to grade

Students are divided into several
groups. For each group, we give the
members the same result.

We treat each group as a unit so that
team working can be trained.
Future vision

We would like to make this course and
this teaching mode as a brand and this
brand can have certain effect in
software industry.

We may give the students a “Learning
by doing” certification, so that students
who take part in this course can have
more advantages in job hunting.
