Abstract

Nowadays, reconfigurable computing constitutes an essential part of engineering practice. This undoubtedly requires huge qualified engineering resources. To assist the educational process in the scope of reconfigurable systems, animated tutorials, mini-projects, language templates, and a course-oriented library have been developed and reported in previous publications. This paper discusses further improvements and international collaboration in relevant courses based on the results of the project “Using HP mobile technology to enhance teaching reconfigurable systems in electrical and computer engineering curricula” running in 2009-2012. Assessment results are presented proving that the innovations have led to improved student learning.
