摘要：This paper reports on the design and evaluation of an education framework for embedded systems architects (ESAs) based on an intensive retreat method and project-based learning (PBL). This framework was designed for engineers who have more than 3 years of practical experience. Between 2008 and 2010, we conducted the Embedded Systems Architect Development program, with a total of 59 prospective ESAs. The beneficial effects of the program have been confirmed by observation and feedback from the program participants. The results indicated that the intensive retreat method and diverse community promoted learning, that, the two-stage PBL model functioned well, and that this program encouraged the development of an ESA mindset.
