Universities around the world have modified their computer engineering curricula to include courses and modules focusing on the design of embedded systems including reconfigurable hardware, real-time processing, embedded processors, and firmware/software systems. This paper describes a different approach to embedded systems education-the development of an embedded systems track within an existing computer science program. This approach allows for an intentionally designed balance of computer science, computer engineering, mathematics, and science courses deemed necessary for a comprehensive embedded systems program.

DURING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, performance computers have established their claim as cost-effective avionics devices by demonstrating significant fuel savings.Many of these devices command different flight control strategies, yet all claim to yield (near) optimal performance. This paper addresses an in-depth study performed to determine the effectiveness of different flight control strategies on performance.
