What this episode covers

Brock Lameres, a professor at Montana State University, discusses his transition from industry at Hewlett Packard to academia, emphasizing the importance of practical, context-driven teaching in electrical engineering. He details his research on radiation-tolerant computing for space missions, specifically using FPGAs with triple modular redundancy (TMR) and reconfigurable hardware to mitigate radiation faults, which has been tested on the ISS and CubeSats. Lameres also explains his innovative approach to teaching embedded systems by using low-cost, USB-powered microcontrollers to enable immediate, hands-on coding in every lecture, a model that proved highly effective during the shift to online education during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    303: Kids, Turn in Your Chips

    Jay Carlson, a PhD student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, discusses his pedagogical approach to teaching embedded systems, arguing against traditional lecture-based models in favor of project-based learning and the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition. He critiques the use of Arduino for education, advocating instead for bare-metal microcontrollers like the PIC16 and STM32 to teach fundamental concepts like memory-mapped peripherals and debugging. Carlson also shares insights from his blog posts on the '$1 Microcontroller' and '3 cent micros,' highlighting how ultra-low-cost chips are changing the landscape of hardware design and prototyping.
