abstract = {As embedded systems are becoming prevalent in everyday life, many universities are incorporating embedded systems-related courses in their undergraduate curricula. However, it is not easy to motivate students in such courses, since they conceive of embedded systems as bizarre computing elements, different from the personal computers with which they are familiar.
This problem has been overcome at the University of Granada, Spain, by taking advantage of the connection many students have with video games.},
