Professional training in embedded systems and its promotion

Tendency to eliminate mans intervention in the controlling processes in different hardware applications as much as possible supports implementation of embedded systems in a broad scale of industry sectors. Consequently this leads to an increased demand for embedded system specialists at the labour market and at the same time to increased requirements on their competences. Issues related to curricula topics and professional training methodology in embedded systems at higher education institutions have been investigated in the international European Tempus project with a consortium of partners from the European Economy Area and target partners in Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia (DesIRE — Development of Embedded System Courses with implementation of Innovative Virtual approaches for integration of Research, Education and Production in UA, GE and AM, 2013–2016). In the paper there is presented a description of the project content together with an overview of the carried out activities and achieved main results.
