Collaborative Research: NEXOS: Next Generation Embedded Operating Systems Course and an Innovative Support Environment

计算机科学(31)这个合作项目通过创造性地注入现代概念来创新和振兴传统的嵌入式系统课程。这个项目通过以下几个方面提高学生的嵌入式系统能力：(1)定义一个反映嵌入式操作系统(如无线设备和开放源码倡议)的最新水平的课程；(2)定义一套吸引学生并与他们的日常生活相关的动手实验；(3)说明嵌入式操作系统所依赖的硬件和软件的独特相互作用；(4)通过讨论嵌入式操作系统的持续发展历史和可行性，鼓励学生参与终身探索和学习；以及(5)为教育工作者提供战略，以便有效地改编和纳入由拟议工作产生的学习材料，并通过社区门户分享他们的知识。这些目标是通过建立从课程到实验环境的包罗万象的学习材料包来实现的。该项目根据调查人员以前的经验，修订和改进了教材和教学战略。这种独特的合作最终形成了满足不同受众需求的学习材料。这一扎实的课程由有效和引人入胜的嵌入式系统实验室实验支持，使我们的员工为充满嵌入式系统的世界做好准备。

Computer Science (31) This collaborative project innovates and invigorates traditional embedded systems courses by creatively infusing modern concepts. This project improves embedded system competencies of students by: (1) defining a curriculum that reflects the state-of-the-art in embedded operating systems such as wireless devices and open source initiatives; (2) defining a set of hands-on experiments that engage students and relate to their everyday life; (3) illustrating the unique interplay of hardware and software on which embedded operating systems rely; (4) encouraging students to engage in life-long exploration and learning by discussing the history of sustained growth and the viability of embedded operating systems; and (5) providing strategies for educators to effectively adapt and incorporate learning materials generated by the proposed work and to share their knowledge through a community portal. These objectives are accomplished by building an all-inclusive package of learning materials, from curriculum to lab environment. The project revises and enhances educational materials and teaching strategies, based on prior experiences of the investigators. This unique collaboration culminates in the creation of learning materials that address the needs of diverse audiences. This solid curriculum supported by effective and engaging hands-on laboratory experiments for embedded systems prepares our workforce for a world full of embedded systems.
