A Curriculum For Unified Embedded Engineering Education

Tremendous progress in semiconductor technology enabled broad proliferation of computer-based solutions in almost all fields, from medical instrumentation up to spacecraft technology. This development opened the question about a new engineering profile being able to act in research and development of embedded systems. In this paper a contribution to the structuring of undergraduate embedded engineering education is given. The curriculum is largely based on the results of the FP7 project "Embedded Engineering Learning Platform" (E2LP) and proposes a unified approach to undergraduate education in which most courses covering the field of embedded engineering use the same platform for laboratory exercises. The paper concludes with the case study where this concept is partially applied, at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad.
