The goal with the Socware education engineering is to give the students more inter-disciplinary skills than a the regular EE curriculum. These skills are needed for the design of embedded systems consisting of analog/RF ASICs, digital ASICs, and embedded software. Each student will be expected to master at least two domains, including their interfaces. A skilled Socware student will know how to partition system and be able to make a trade-off between solutions based on the different domains. To this end, all abstraction levels from system level specifications down to the circuit level and physical limitations including modeling from one domain to another will be included in the Socware curriculum. The Socware educations held in three locations in Sweden, namely at Linköping University, Lund University, and Royal Institute of Technology. The program consists of one year of courses and 6 months of thesis work. From an Bachelor level, the educations leads to a magister/master's degree.
