This special issue of the ACM Transactions in Embedded Computing Systems aims to provide the basis for integrated undergraduate and graduate curricula covering the essential areas of knowledge for tomorrow’s embedded systems engineers and researchers.
This first workshop on on Embedded Systems Education aims to bring researchers, educators, and industrial representatives together to assess needs and share design, research, and education experiences in embedded systems.
This second workshop on the subject aims to bring researchers, educators, and industrial representatives together to assess needs and share design, research, and experiences in embedded systems education.
The design of real-time embedded systems requires skills from three specific
disciplines: control theory, computer science, and electronic engineering, and
their combination. This often involves experts from differing backgrounds, who
do not recognize that they address different issues from complementary angles.
The motivation for defining a specific curriculum in embedded systems is
mainly to promote the training of engineers with expertise in the above three
disciplines.
