This is a graduate level course and will cover both software engineering concepts and embedded system design. The students will learn about using the software engineering concepts to design an embedded system based on an embedded platform. The lab in each phase in the course will help students finish their term projects in the end of the course.

1. Introduction to Embedded Software with Software Engineering
Lab 1-1：UML Tools Introduction
Lab 1-2：Embedded Platform Introduction
2. Introduction to UML for Embedded Software
Lab 2-1：UML modeling: using input/output subsystem as examples
Lab 2-2：Basic input/output on embedded platform
3. Requirements and System Constraints for Embedded Software
Lab 3-1：GUI for embedded platforms
Lab 3-2：Image compression on embedded platforms
4. Software Design
a. Software Architecture for Embedded System
b. Software Design for Embedded System
Lab 4-1：System Requirements and Specification Modeling using UML
Lab 4-2：Term Project Specification Modeling
5. Software Quality Assurance and Testing
Lab 5-1：Case study: Digital Camera-image input
Lab 5-2：Case study: Digital Camera-image compression
Lab 5-3：Case study: Digital Camera-image display
Lab 6-1：Case study: Digital Camera-system implementation
Lab 6-2：Case study: Digital Camera-system testing
(We use Digital Camera as an example project currently. Actually in the course we will provide some alternative projects for students to work on, such as Android applications development, OpenMoko projects, etc.)
