Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are integrations of physical systems with computations. Their design poses many challenges. For example, CPS design is interdisciplinary by nature, crossing the boundaries of many engineering disciplines. In addition, there is a potential mismatch between the discrete nature of today’s computing systems and typically continuous physical systems, and CPS design has to meet and adhere to many constraints and take many objectives into account. As a result, education for the CPS design is quite challenging. In this context, the special issue on education for CPS aims to provide educators, industrial representatives, and researchers with a view on the needs and share solutions for embedded and CPS education. The special issue addresses questions such as “How can we ensure that students will be able to work in interdisciplinary teams?,” “What skills and capabilities are required by the engineers of tomorrow?,” “How should the corresponding educational programs be formed?,” and “How can effective pedagogic methods be introduced in this domain?”

客座编辑简介：网络物理系统教育


网络物理系统（CPS）是物理系统与计算的集成。他们的设计带来了许多挑战。例如，CPS 设计本质上是跨学科的，跨越了许多工程学科的界限。此外，当今计算系统的离散性质与典型的连续物理系统之间存在潜在的不匹配，CPS 设计必须满足并遵守许多约束并考虑许多目标。因此，CPS 设计的教育非常具有挑战性。在此背景下，CPS 教育特刊旨在为教育工作者、行业代表和研究人员提供嵌入式和 CPS 教育需求的观点并分享解决方案。特刊探讨了诸如“如何确保学生能够在跨学科团队中工作？”、“明天的工程师需要哪些技能和能力？”、“相应的教育计划应该如何形成？”等问题。 ”和“如何在这个领域引入有效的教学方法？”
