Embedded Computer Engineering

这是肯塔基州大学电气与计算机工程系和计算机科学系的系级改革的规划补助金。 这个新的和创新的本科计算机工程学位课程给予了计算机的嵌入式使用的一贯重视。目标是涵盖“什么计算机工程师应该知道”，而不是复制另一门课程或屈服于偏见使用现有的课程或与教师的研究兴趣保持一致。而不是传统的高级设计项目，每个学生将被要求有一个多学期的“嵌入式”工程经验，在一个主要关注点不是计算机工程的小组中从事计算机工程工作，但与学生选择的主题一致。新课程的学生将选择在肯塔基州大学的社区服务组织、行业合作伙伴、研究小组内从事计算机工程工作，或教师监督的学生项目团队（例如，太阳能赛车队）。嵌入式计算机工程课程教师将直接招募，分配学生，并监督这些合作伙伴团体内的项目，就像在EPICS中所做的那样。

This is a planning grant for department level reform at the University of Kentucky Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Computer Science Department. This new and innovative undergraduate computer engineering degree program gives a consistent emphasis to embedded use of computers.The goal was to cover "what computer engineers should know" rather than copying another curriculum or yielding to biases about using existing courses or aligning with faculty research interests.Rather than a traditional senior design project, each student will be required to have a multi-semester "embedded" engineering experience doing computer engineering work within a group whose primary focus is not computer engineering, but is consistent with the student-selected theme.Students in the new program will select do their computer engineering work within a community service organization, industry partner, research group at the University of Kentucky, or faculty-supervised student project team (e.g., the solar racer team). The embedded computer engineering program faculty will directly recruit, assign students to, and oversee the projects within these partner groups, much as has been done in EPICS.
