In this paper, we propose to introduce a common introductory course for embedded system education. The course puts the different areas of embedded system design into perspective and avoids an early over-specialization. Also, it motivates the students for attending more advanced theoretical courses. The content, the structure and the prerequisites of such a course are outlined. The course requires a basic understanding of computer hardware and software and can typically be taught in the second or third year.
