Abstract

In this paper we present an educational approach for a paradigm shift needed when changing from deep submicron CMOS designs to real nano and nanoscale technologies (Waser, 2005) in complex communication and computation system implementations. Here we present an introduction course implemented for starting the paradigm shift in curriculum. Here we present course targets, structure and implementation as well as future designer competence profiles. The course is consisting of five thematic areas: nanoscale technologies, parallel platforms, concurrent algorithms, reconfigurable systems and autonomous system management. These thematic areas compound the core of future nanosystems educational program upgrades for current NoC curricula.
