title = "Using Embedded Systems Projects to Revisit Theoretical Subjects",
abstract = "Teaching and learning can be accomplished in different ways. In this paper, we report on how theoretical concepts can be revisited and mastered through student projects in Embedded systems course. Over the past 10 years we have been developing a course in Embedded Systems Engineering at the University of Iceland. This course has evolved over the years and many student projects are outstanding in quality, some have even spun off as hi-tech start-up companies. The recipe for successful project driven senior/masters level course on Embedded Systems Engineering seems to have three main ingredients; student ownership, challenge and mentorship. In this paper, we discuss the Importance of mentorship, student ownership, and challenging projects to enforce theoretical subjects. Course and curriculum development in project based Embedded Systems Engineering course is also discussed.",
