IMPLEMENTING ZIGBEE PROTOCOL AS ASSIGNMENTS IN TEACHING EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT
In Computer Engineering 2b, one of the Level 7 courses in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology programme offered at Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology, a “real world” project is always used as assignments for teaching and assessment.
In the recent years, one of these assignments is to implement the ZigBee protocol in the in-house developed micro controller training kit.
Involving emerging technologies of the wireless sensor control network in the assignment has stimulated students' interest, not only in embedded systems but also in other areas such as wireless communications.
