18 Experience of graduates (who work in SR) Insufficient (needs more attention) (Real Time) Linux Code generation from models Matlab knowledge Multicore Engineering process (configuration management in projects) Developing efficient software (algorithms, memory, network, cpu, ) Applied mathematics (accuracy, units, formulas, ) Design patterns SW Architecture Sufficient Using internet (looking for solutions) Using open source Diversity of technologies 18

19 Experience of Thales coaches Insufficient (needs more attention) Engineering process (how to design, aspects of quality unit testing) Theoretical knowledge ( UML is not just a class diagram ) Education by means of (only) projects is insufficient (see biggest issue) Looking for solutions ( applying research to get a solution ) Context awareness (what is already available) Biggest issue: issue: Large Large fluctuation in in knowledge level level of of the the students with with identical training e.g. e.g. same same institute and and same same education. 19

20 Experience of Thales coaches Recommendations Teach (basic) theoretical knowledge / background Learn programming in general and a specific language in particular Projects: Apply a development process in the projects Students should cover diverse technologies, theoretical aspects and project phases in their projects Students should have individual appraisals in projects Look closely at open source communities (like Apache, Eclipse) on how they work and sw architecture Education should keep up with the modern world (both students and teachers) 20
