Synopses & Reviews
This volume combines the proceedings of the 1987 SEI Conference on Software Engineering Education with the set of papers that formed the basis for that conference. The purpose of the book is to improve the state of software engineering education by collecting together current thinking and practical experience in software engineering education. The volume contains 23 refereed papers, summaries of discussions, three invited presentations, and two panel sessions. The papers cover undergraduate issues in undergraduate software engineering education, teaching software engineering project courses, graduate level software engineering education, and industrially-oriented education and training for software engineers. The two panel sessions are concerned with four models of industrial/academic interfaces and the role of Ada in software engineering education. The intended audience for this text include all those who are interested in or involved in developing computer science and software engineering curricula, not only in universities, but also in industry. This text should provide a starting point for additional work in the development of coherent software engineering curricula.
Synopsis
This volume combines the proceedings of the 1987 SEI Conference on Software Engineering Education, held in Monroeville, Pennsylvania on April 30 and May 1, 1987, with the set of papers that formed the basis for that conference. The conference was sponsored by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie-Mellon University. SEI is a federally-funded research and development center established by the United States Department of Defense to improve the state of software technology. The Education Division of SEI is charged with improving the state of software engineering education. This is the third volume on software engineering education to be pub lished by Springer-Verlag. The first (Software Engineering Education: Needs and Objectives, edited by Tony Wasserman and Peter Freeman) was published in 1976. That volume documented a workshop in which educa tors and industrialists explored needs and objectives in software engineering education. The second volume (Software Engineering Education: The Educational Needs of the Software Community, edited by Norm Gibbs and Richard Fairley) was published in 1986. The 1986 volume contained the proceedings of a limited attendance workshop held at SEI and sponsored by SEI and Wang Institute. In contrast to the 1986 Workshop, which was limited in attendance to 35 participants, the 1987 Conference attracted approximately 180 participants."
