Abstract

The paper describes some unique characteristics of engineering of computer-based systems (ECBS) and the need for formal undergraduate and graduate level education of engineers in this new discipline. A job description of engineers specializing in the discipline is outlined. It forms the requirements for the preparation of the ECBS MS curriculum. The paper describes in detail eight suggested core courses required in such a program and some of the problems encountered in their development. The suggested courses, in a less intensive form can be incorporated in undergraduate ECBS and industrial training programs. The proposed ECBS MS program is the basis for the discussions of the Education and Training Working Group of the IEEE Computer Society ECBS Technical Committee at its 1996 International Symposium and Workshop
