An RSIC-SE2004 curriculum framework

This paper addresses the problem of educating software engineering professionals who can efficiently and effectively develop real-time software intensive control systems in the global community. A framework for developing curricula that support such education is presented. The curriculum framework is based on the work of two education projects: the ILERT (international learning environment for real-time software intensive control system) project, and the software engineering efforts of the ACM/IEEE-CS joint task force on computing curricula. The authors describe a curriculum framework that integrates principles, content, and organization from the two projects, and which satisfies the intent and requirement of both projects.
