This paper presents a strategy for a personal tutor based on intelligent agents and embedded systems. An educational tool is proposed to join the teaching and learning processes for a subject area in the teaching of electronics engineering. This tool meets software and hardware features from some learning parameters and the resources of an embedded platform. Technical knowledge, professional skills and collaborative work are considered to design the agents in the software side. Finally, some performance variables for the hardware resources are measured with the agent-based system running on an operating system to know the load level of the designed tool.
