Abstract :
To overcome shortcomings in existing embedded system education, this paper presents an ongoing work on developing a novel Android-based Mobile Sensory System Lab ware that is portable, affordable, and easily adoptable. The proposed lab ware can facilitate authentic and creative learning of embedded systems and provide extensive hands-on experience using mobile embedded platforms. Preliminary feedback from students is positive and encouraging.
