The TU Dortmund Cyber-Physical Systems Program A Step Towards Multi-Disciplinary Education
Peter Marwedel, Wolfgang Rhode, and Katharina Morik
»Embedded systems (ES) are information processing systems embedded into a larger product« »Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrations of computation with physical processes«
SFB876
» Embedded systems education typically implemented as a concentration (e.g., in CS or EE) » Insufficient headroom for courses in all relevant areas and for more specialized courses » CPS as a newly introduced term enables the introduction of a concept for an interdisciplinary program: » Start Cyber-Physical System education already at the undergraduate level » Include fundamental principles of the involved science and engineering disciplines » Refrain from loading the program with topics not essential in the long run
Mathematics Topics
» Series, Linear Equations » Integrals, Derivatives » Vector Analysis, Transforms, Eigenvalue problems
