Abstract

The importance and complexity of software systems require software engineers who possess the appropriate skills, knowledge, and experience to develop, maintain, and acquire such systems. Graduate education is key in advancing professional software engineering. The "Graduate Software Engineering 2009 (GSwE2009): Curriculum Guidelines for Graduate Degree Programs in Software Engineering" is a new reference curriculum for master's programs. It features the GSwE2009 guiding principles, preparatory knowledge, student outcomes, curriculum architecture, and a core body of knowledge.

Master's Degrees in Software Engineering: An Analysis of 28 University Programs

The Software Engineering Institute published the last reference curriculum for a master's in software engineering in 1991. In 2007, a coalition from academia, industry, and government began creating a new reference curriculum. An early step was to ...
Software Engineering Education: from an Engineering Perspective
SEEP '96: Proceedings of the 1996 International Conference on Software Engineering: Education and Practice (SE:EP '96)

In this paper we explore the development of the curriculum for a new professional engineering degree in Software Engineering. Software Engineering is still a relatively new discipline (in its own right) and its place in the tertiary education sector is ...
Software Engineering Education: A Modest Proposal

For our profession to advance, software engineering education must improve. The author proposes a conceptual model for achieving this that is founded on the triad of people, process, and technology. He then outlines a sample curriculum based on his ...
