Abstract
This paper presents a discussion on fieldbus technologies as a part of the required competencies in modern electrical engineering graduations. Fieldbus systems are fast changing technologies of great importance for electrical and automation engineers deserving a special investment of university curricula and laboratory resources owing to their essential role in modern industrial automation and control practice. Their diversity as well as their permanent and fast evolution is a challenge for teaching, both in terms of curriculum design and logistic support. Historical facts and actual tendencies are at the starting point of our analysis, leading to the proposed methodological approach to the theoretical and experimental teaching components.
