Abstract

This paper presents a teaching experience related to the learning methodology in embedded systems within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) frame. A Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology has been applied for combining two courses of a bachelor degree in computer systems. The objectives are the integration and application of previously acquired and new knowledge to create an application for the supervision and control of a mobile robot. Technologies used during the development of the project include real-time programming using Ada language, digital control theory and communications.
