Towards a curriculum for model-based engineering of embedded systems

Even though the theory and industrial practice of model-based techniques has reached a certain maturity, there seems to be no consensus of what should constitute a curriculum in this field. In this position paper, we report on several classes we gave on the bachelor and master level, as well as for industrial participants. We argue that there is a strong need for lightweight tools and platforms which allow to teach all relevant concepts, yet are easy to install and to use for beginners.
