Arduino for Teaching Embedded Systems. Are Computer Scientists and Engineering Educators Missing the Boat? Peter Jamieson Miami University, Oxford, OH, 45056 Email: jamiespa@ Abstract— In this work, we look at the Arduino as a of the course where only FPGAs and PIC microcontrollers design platform for a course on embedded systems and ask were available. the question, is the Arduino platform suitable for teaching Even if using the Arduino kit allows students to avoid computer engineers and computer scientists an embedded experiencing some of the low-level challenges of embedded system course with? To examine this question, we describe a system software and hardware design, the student still expe- project based learning embedded system course that we have riences a large majority of these concepts with the added taught and identify which topics are covered in it compared benefit of building working and interesting designs. This to the IEEE/ACM recommendations. The major contention point is debated from a philosophical standpoint in a number lies in the idea that students can access and use an open of areas. For example, should beginning programmers learn source community that is focused on getting things working a language such as Java, which provides a rich library as opposed to strictly looking at low-level technical aspects that quickly allows a student o create graphics, GUIs, of embedded systems. Additionally, the presence of open and algorithms such as search and ordering, or should the source and reusable designs makes it difficult to
