Abstract

Embedded Systems (ES) is the fastest growing sector in ICT technology [1][18]. Also in the Dutch economy, this sector is believed to become an important generator of added value. In this paper we describe a new MS program on ES that is offered in Delft as of the academic year 2006/2007. The MS program is a joint offering by the three Universities of Technology within The Netherlands (at Delft, Eindhoven, and Twente). We describe the program, its rationale, and two examples of already existing courses (Embedded Systems and Real-Time Systems), from which the new ES curriculum has emerged.
