Abstract

This paper describes how Korean Government has designed and driven the innovation of undergraduate curriculums to meet increasing industrial demand for quality IT experts in the computer-software field. The computer-software field has been categorized into five specialized areas, tracks. The embedded system software area is one among them. Educational contents (including track curriculums, detailed syllabuses, and class materials) have been designed and constructed for the tracks. First, a curriculum development methodology is described, which is used to develop curriculums in the computer-software field. Next, artifacts for the embedded software system track produced in the process are described. By applying iterative and incremental principles of the methodology, all artifacts will be continuously updated and constantly upgraded as related technologies progress rapidly.
