Curriculum Development and Progressive Engineering Practice Design in Embed System Education

The development of courses system for embed system and the exploration of realistic embedded systems design experience for students are described in the paper. The design pay more attention on developing students´s professional skills that will serve students well in their careers besides the requisite related basic theory. The curriculum design is shaped into two technology courses mainstreams, one is for universal processors system and the other focus on system on programmable chip (SOPC), a novel schedule of embedded systems education with professional engineering practice and progressive cooperative experiential learning is putted forward. The effect of the schedule from lecturers´ response and student´s assessment comments show that it is effective to develop the student´s engineering practice, teamwork and active-learning skills.
