Guest Editors Introduction: Special Issue on Education for Cyber-Physical Systems

• Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are integrations of physical systems with computations. Their design poses many challenges. For example, CPS design is interdisciplinary by nature, crossing the boundaries of many engineering disciplines. In addition, there is a potential mismatch between the discrete nature of today’s computing systems and typically continuous physical systems, and CPS design has to meet and adhere to many constraints and take many objectives into account. As a result, education for the CPS design is quite challenging. In this context, the special issue on education for CPS aims to provide educators, industrial representatives, and researchers with a view on the needs and share solutions for embedded and CPS education. The special issue addresses questions such as “How can we ensure that students will be able to work in interdisciplinary teams?,” “What skills and capabilities are required by the engineers of tomorrow?,” “How should the corresponding educational programs be formed?,” and “How can effective pedagogic methods be introduced in this domain?”
