Abstract

Due to the scientific and technological advances of the last decades, embedded systems have become central to modern life, which has led to a new reality in which the embedded systems market has been growing with a monthly or even weekly emergence of new products with different applications across several domains. Focus on embedded systems design is driven by: (1) high and fast penetration in products and services due to the integration of networks, operating systems and database capabilities, (2) the economically strategic nature of the field, and (3) its status as a new, and relatively undefined, subject in academic environment. We'll present the development of the educational context for the new technologies, and show how our Integrated Master Curriculum in Industrial Electronics and Computer Engineering has been adapted to satisfy the needs of the industry and meet all the above mentioned challenges.
