MOBILE PLATFORM FOR AN ENTRY-LEVEL EMBEDDED PROGRAMMING COURSES

摘要

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) branch has a huge impact on our society. Informatics and programming is an universal and ubiquitous tool in many industries and research areas. It also dominates career choices of technical college graduates and 'technically minded' pupils in secondary schools. This is a negative phenomenon from the point of view of academic teachers in the field of electronics. Active promotion of the electronics both as a field of study and as a future profession is necessary in order to reverse negative trends. Modern, effective and attractive teaching methods and tools are needed. This paper presents a mobile platform which can be used in both entry-level courses offered to students at technical universities (like Microprocessor Systems or Embedded Programming) and as a platform for active promotion of electronics at children's universities, activity clubs or research groups in schools etc.
