A Practical Software Engineering Curriculum: A Pilot Study

Abstract

This project identifies a problem in Software Engineering instruction and some approaches to overcome it. It is advocated that a software engineer must have at least one formal course in Software Engineering. Further, a course containing merely the concepts is not sufficient; additional course(s) complementing the formal course are required. A streamlined sequence of courses was developed that would help achieve the goals of Software Engineering. This report presents the course sequence and the observations for the project. It is hoped that other institutions can benefit from this study.
