Work in Progress: Project Oriented Embedded Digital Systems Design Hardware Laboratory

This paper shows the teaching experience on embedded digital systems based on microcontrollers in the degrees on Electrical and Electronic engineering in the University of Alcala, rendering special attention to the laboratory practices. The oriented laboratory practices are elaborated in order to achieve two main objectives: first, the students must build from the beginning a complete system based on a microcontroller and, second, they must apply a top down methodology including finite state machine or Petri nets
