Outline of Final Research Achievements

Embedded technology is one of the key industries in Japan. However, it is not thought as important academically, and almost no embedded technology education has been carried out in Japanese school education. Therefore, the embedded technology education is an important subject, and it is necessary to deepen the understanding about the embedded technology in school education.
In this study, as an example of the teaching tools for the embedded technology education, "the remote place monitoring system", which checks the circumstances at the remote place using a sensor and a microcomputer and reports the serious changes of the circumstances via the wireless LAN and the Internet, has been developed. In addition, the educational method utilizing the system has been considered very much. Through this study, the development of the system has been progress greatly. This system can contribute to promoting the embedded technology education.
