AMV ALPHA Learning Platform for Automotive Embedded Software Engineering

Education of electronics engineers is one of the most dynamic types of education due to the new technologies that are rapidly being introduced into the field. Therefore, it is necessary to use modern teaching and laboratory methods that accompany the development of new technologies. When it comes to the automotive industry, a modern vehicle must be able to perceive the inside and outside environment. Various sensors are used for this purpose: cameras, lidars, radars, ultrasonic sensors, etc. To process this data in real time, a high-performance platform is needed. This article addresses the development and evaluation of a learning platform for teaching automotive embedded software engineering and introduction of such platform in M.Sc. study curriculum. Besides hardware and software, the platform includes instruction materials for students. The platform was recently implemented in one M.Sc. course and the results of the students’ response to lab feedback questionnaire are presented.
