The relentless development of semiconductor technologies has enabled the design of highly complex systems. Electronic engineers are now expected to build chips which have more than a billion transistors. Novel computing paradigms have recently emerged such as many-core systems and the Internet of Things. Graduates of electrical and electronic engineering degrees need to be appropriately educated on the design techniques of complex systems-on-chips, parallel computer architecture and hardware security. This is our first IET Circuits, Devices and Systems Special Section on developments and advancements in electronic and electrical engineering education. This Special Section highlights the state-of-the-art educational practices and research in this field, and includes the following topics:
