IEEE Article on Importance of Programs like FIRST

[taichichuan]

Hi Gang,

There is at least one University program that could be a real plus for the embedded developer. The University of Wyoming has created an embedded systems program based on by original IEEE paper:

I spoke with one of the principal authors of the paper and I must admit that I'm encouraged. The only comment that I had was that I wish they'd include a little more on 32-bit systems. The H11 is a fine processor, but it's getting a bit long in tooth when compared to the ARM Cortex M0 that's used in the Jaguars.

And, I'm in contact with a couple of additional universities that are interested in creating embedded systems programs such as the University of Advancing Technology in Phoenix and the University of Alabama at Huntsville. We certainly want to encourage these schools and others by letting them know that they're on the right track.
