Abstract: In the past few years, we have observed a huge supply-demand gap for autonomous driving engineers. The core problem is that autonomous driving is not one single technology but rather a complex system integrating many technologies, and no one single academic department can provide comprehensive education in this field. We advocate to create a cross-disciplinary program to expose students with technical background in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, as well as mechanical engineering. On top of the cross-disciplinary technical foundation, a capstone project that provides students with hands-on experiences of working with a real autonomous vehicle is required to consolidate the technical foundation.
