We propose a method for effectively supporting engineering education in computer science (CS) based on Augmented Reality (AR). We have an assumption that the proposed method can be used in an experimental exercise class for training CS students targeted at mastering embedded software development skills. We focus on some technical issues confusing the students in an initial stage of the experiment and present a way for efficiently advising them by showing support information in accordance with the progress of an experimental task. The proposed method also supports multiple students cooperating to solve a single task by spatially projecting appropriate information in a working environment (a visualization technique called projection-based AR). We describe a prototype system designed and implemented based on the proposed method and discuss how the system can guide the students in some specific experimental exercises.
