Embedded systems in the Masters education at KTH ICES 2 nd annual conference 1
New competence needs and role of KTH in a changing world? Which skills? Theory, Technology, Applications? Processes, Tools? Team-working, internationalization? Other? Role? Globalisation, Bologna process Changing society How to create an interest in engineering? 2
Bachelor and Masters education at KTH Civilingingenjör and Högskoleingenjör will still exist From 2010, most of the education at KTH for the final two years will be organized into Masters programs Masters program Two years Bachelor + Master - can be seen as a modularization of Civilingenjör education Around 50+ Master programs expected 2010 3
