Research Abstract	In the education process for training embedded-system engineers, who construct systems by melding knowledge incorporated from various fields, experience-based training and creative research coursework have become extremely valuable. In order to bring out the creative ingenuity in students, it is necessary to implement experience-based training using actual equipment and devices during classroom lectures as a way to strengthen collaboration between creative coursework and classroom lectures. We have developed a learning environment for embedded system design. The learning environment consists of a multi-purpose controller and terminal devices. The controller consists of main processor (arm) and a multi-core microprocessor (Propeller). The main processor provides the software development environment. In addition, the Propeller chip provides a reconfigurable peripheral module. This feature is very useful for the development of educational materials.
