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.

In order to meet increasing industrial demand for quality IT experts in the computer-software field, demand-driven undergraduate curriculums have been developed and applied to college education in Korea. The computer-software field has been categorized into several specialized areas, tracks, and educational contents have been designed and constructed for each track. In this paper, a 6-phased curriculum development methodology is suggested and artifacts produced in each phase of the development process are described. By applying iterative and incremental principles of the methodology, all artifacts have been continuously updated.
