the requirements of 30 credit hours of core courses common to allcomputer science students. The students continue taking core courses until the first semester oftheir junior year, when they begin taking their electives from different specialization areas.In this paper, the authors are proposing a new area of specialization in their computer sciencedepartment called Embedded Systems Engineering. The paper elaborates the detail content ofthe curriculum requirement for this track.Embedded Systems EngineeringThe area of Embedded Systems Design has been gaining a tremendous growth in recent years. Amajor aspect of this growth has been the addition of networking technologies and operatingsystems to embedded systems. Embedded systems have
