Embedded Engineering Education

This book focuses on the outcome of the Europeanresearch project FP7-ICT-2011-8 / 317882:Embedded Engineering Learning Platform E2LP. Additionally, some experiences and researches outside this project havebeen included. This book provides information about the achieved results of theE2LP project as well as some broader views about the embedded engineeringeducation. It captures project results and applications, methodologies, andevaluations. It leads to the history of computer architectures, brings a touchof the future in education tools and provides a valuable resource for anyoneinterested in embedded engineering education concepts, experiences andmaterial. The bookcontents 12 original contributions and will open a broader discussion aboutthe necessary knowledge and appropriatelearning methods for the new profile of embedded engineers. As a result, the proposed Embedded ComputerEngineering Learning Platform will help to educate a sufficient number offuture engineers in Europe, capable of designing complex systems andmaintaining a leadership in the area of embedded systems, thereby ensuring thatour strongholds in automotive, avionics, industrial automation, mobilecommunications, telecoms and medical systems are able to develop.
