Abstract
High tech development companies are extremely scarce in the Pan-Arab region and students do not get a chance to gain industry experience in embedded systems development through internships. This paper illustrates Nawatt Lab's experiment to fill that gap by transferring the role of industry internships to local universities and technology incubators. This is accomplished by providing product driven embedded systems labs and taking into account several critical concepts in engineering education.
