The Approach Of Black And White Boxes For The Teaching Of Embedded Systems

This paper presents the experience of incorporating open hardware and open software paradigms to the microcontroller architecture and embedded systems course in the careers of Electronic Engineering and Computer Engineering. The traditional syllabus proposed in textbooks is changed and the use of Arduino platforms is incorporated in the first labs. The basis for this change comes from the "hands on learning" pedagogical paradigm that is partially implemented in the course.
