Embedded systems is a multidisciplinary field, requiring skills from control and signal processing theory, electronics, computer engineering and science, telecommunication, etc., as well as application domain knowledge. Demand for embedded systems engineers has motivated a growing interest in the question of educating specialists in this domain. As embedded system designs grow more complex and the time to market diminishes, quality embedded systems education becomes more and more important. This fourth 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.
