Development of a remote practice system for embedded system education

Embedded systems are applied in various products and the demand for them is very high. However, there is shortfall in human resources of embedded system engineers in Japan. For this reason, we conduct training courses based on the e-learning system to promote embedded system engineering education. For these courses, we have developed a remote practice system to support the participants of the training course do self-learning. The participants can check own software design and digital hardware designs using this system on the Internet. We conducted some training courses using this educational system and evaluated the results.
