COMPUTER SCIENCES VS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Abstract

The paper is an editorial written for COMPUTER DECISIONS which advances the thesis that computer science departments in the U. S. are not fulfilling the needs of the software industry. A new program is proposed called 'software engineering' to fill the void. Software engineering stresses the pragmatic side of computer systems design and could be established as an independent program with either existing electrical engineering or computer sciences departments.
