I-Corps L: Transforming an Innovative Embedded Design Educational Training System into a Commercially Available Product.

通过NSF创新团队学习计划（I-Corp L），该项目将帮助培训教师和教职员工在微处理器/微控制器相关嵌入式系统设计中使用当前技术。 嵌入到日常技术中的微电子技术极大地改变了日常生活。 然而，对于微电子和嵌入式系统领域的教育工作者来说，跟上技术变化的快节奏并确保工程专业的学生学习使用当前相关的微控制器产品进行设计是一项挑战。 该项目将解决教师在嵌入式系统硬件和软件的专业发展。 重点将放在以各种形式提供服务，以满足潜在用户的需要。该项目的重点是培训教师在学术界的最新技术，在微处理器/微控制器相关的现代工业实践。这些努力将使未来受过教育的学生能够将微电子概念应用于设计智能产品，并提高国家劳动力的能力。这一努力将有助于保持美国在微控制器技术领域的领先地位。这一嵌入式系统教育计划的特点包括系统培训、控制软件代码、课程设置、实验室活动、应用项目、分步指南、演示视频和录制的培训课程。课程包括16个不同的课程模块，从开始到更高级的项目。 辅助材料帮助用户理解基本概念和设计应用工程项目。发展是基于教师，学生，顾问和行业的输入和反馈。 项目的功能进行了优化，以提供灵活的应用程序的重要性，教育工作者努力让学生接触到各种嵌入式系统的使用。 所使用的电子硬件组件强调耐用性、易于维护性和升级兼容性。这个I-Corps L团队由来自Old自治领大学和俄亥俄州北方大学的教师以及来自Auto-Sign Incorporated的行业专家组成。

Through the NSF Innovation Corps for Learning Program (I-Corp L), this project will help train teachers and faculty on the use of current technologies in microprocessor/microcontroller related embedded system designs. The microelectronics embedded into everyday technologies has changed daily life dramatically. However it is challenging for educators in the field of microelectronics and embedded systems to keep up with the fast pace of changing technology and ensure that engineering students are learning to design with currently-relevant microcontroller products. The project will address faculty professional development in embedded system hardware and software. An emphasis will be placed on implementation of delivery in a variety of formats to address the needs of potential users. This project focuses on training faculty in academic communities on up-to-date technologies in microprocessor/microcontroller relevant to modern industry practice. These efforts will enable future educated students to apply microelectronic concepts in designing intelligent products and ehance the capabilities of the nation's workforce. This effort will contribute to maintaining the United States' leadership in the area of microcontroller technologies.The features of this embedded system educational program include system training, control software codes, course curricula, laboratory activities, application projects, step-by-step guides, demonstration videos, and recorded training classes. The curriculum includes 16 different course modules ranging from beginning to more advanced projects. Supporting materials assist users in understanding the basic concepts and in designing applied engineering projects. The development is based on input and feedback from faculty, students, consultants, and industry. Project features are optimized to provide flexibility in applications of importance to educators striving to expose students to a variety of embedded system uses. The electronic hardware components used emphasize durability, ease of maintenance, and upgrade compatibility. This I-Corps L Team is composed of faculty from Old Dominion University and Ohio Northern University as well as an industry expert from Auto-Sign Incorporated.
