Abstract

The paper describes characteristics of Engineering of Computer-Based Systems (ECBS), a newly recognized discipline, and the need for formal undergraduate and graduate level education of engineers in this discipline. The tasks to be undertaken by ECBS engineers are outlined. They form the requirements for the preparation of the ECBS Master program. The paper describes in detail the suggested courses required in such a program and some of the problems encountered in their development. The suggested courses, in a tailored version can be incorporated in undergraduate ECBS programs and industrial training programs. The proposed ECBS master program is being developed by the Education and Training Working Group of the IEEE Computer Society ECBS Technical Committee
