Romanian Academy of Sciences |
Abstract
The evolution of computers, communications and control technology in the context of the
increasing complexity of infrastructures has driven towards the new paradigm of Cyber-PhysicalSystems (CPS).
The real progress in the field of WSAN (Wireless Sensors & Actuators Networks), as these in the area of embedded and Networked Control Systems creates new opportunities for the development of a more intelligent planetary approach. (Smarter Planet). Computers and communication devices are deeply embedded and they are capable of adding new capability and features to physical systems.
New challenges for science, technology and education have been identified, considering the impact of CPS paradigm on the next knowledge-based society.
The paper will present some of the most important such challenges, in the context of the evolution of the digital society and considering their impact on the human behavior in this new intelligent framework. There will be presented new paradigms for education in engineering and approaches to train engineers for the economy of the future society.
A special attention will be paid to interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and STEM education of the new generations of engineers.
The conference intends to promote new concepts in engineering education in order to answer and to foresee the main challenges of this century.
