Title
Teaching embedded systems with FPGAs throughout a computer science course
Abstract
Although embedded systems have been around for quite a long time, just in recent years they have attracted major industry and academic interest. There is a perception that a computing paradigm shift is taking place, and so the need to provide computer science students with the required expertise in the field. In this paper we describe our experience of using a reconfigurable computing platform throughout a number of courses. By doing so we allow students to get acquired to embedded systems concepts and practices under different contexts in the normal curriculum. The application of this strategy have allowed considerable gains for students taking embedded system courses, research projects in the field, and also professional activities.
