IPD-CMMI Model of Embedded Software Engineering under IEC-CDIO Framework

With the increase of the embedded system in the post-PC era of computing, the Innovation & Enterprise Capability training becomes a task of high priority. The drawback of the current software engineering to Higher Education is systematically analyzed and the IPD-CMMI (Integrating Product Development based on CMMI) is proposed by integrating the hardware and software engineering and tailoring unnecessary software process for teaching. Then, according to the Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan, IEC-CDIO (Innovation & Enterprise Capability-CDIO) framework is proposed stressing engineering education in the context of Conceiving—Designing—Implementing—Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. In the end, a support system is created based on ODC (Orthogonal Defect Classification) reference model which includes activity, trigger, severity attributes and defect origin, content, type. It can carry on Process and Quality analysis by ODC database and forecast the Plan Progress which helps the teacher to schedule the balance of study and work term.
