Abstract
This paper reports on the basic findings and future
perspectives of a capacity building project funded by the
European Union. The International Master of Science on Cyber
Physical Systems (MS@CPS) is a collaborative project that aims
to establish a master program in cyber physical systems (CPS). A
consortium composed of nine partners proposed the project.
Three partners are European and from Germany, UK and
Sweden; while the other six partners are from the South
Mediterranean region and include: Palestine, Jordan and Tunisia.
The consortium is led by the University of Siegen in Germany who
also manages the implementation of the work packages. CPS is an
emerging engineering subject with significant economic and
societal implications, which motivated the consortium to propose
the establishment of a master program to offer educational and
training opportunities at graduate level in the fields of CPS. In this
paper, CPS as a field of study is introduced with an emphasis on
its importance, especially with regard to meeting local needs. A
brief description of the project is presented in conjunction with the
methodology for developing the courses and their learning
outcomes.
