If we were to trace this deficiency in software testing background back to its source, wewould end up at the educational institutions that are responsible for teaching and training peopleto test software. Thus, if today’s software testers are not sufficiently armed with the knowledgerequired to test software well, then it is most likely because they have not been adequatelytrained. This is one of the main root causes of the current state of software testing, and it ishere that we need to begin to remedy the problem.Current ApproachThe subject of software testing rarely appears in the undergraduate curricula, despite its wellestablished place in classical computer science (CS) literature 2 and its extensive use in industry.Many academic CS

Traditionally these classeshave been the way into engineering thinking and problem solving. The problems that theengineering education community is facing is how to make these classes more interesting,expand students’ thinking process, bring in a more systems level thinking, and help studentsappreciate what is engineering all at the same time. The above challenges together with thetypical characteristics, behavior, and attitudes of the new students actually increase theimportance of the

andeducation of an engineer is now compared to that of an engineering technologist and othertechnologists (e.g., in terms of math/theory in the education, in terms of ability to work hands-on,and in terms of job roles in a interdisciplinary team). Students are now better exposed totechnology-related degree options other than engineering.Second, a technology professor joined the EGR120 teaching team. The course has since beenbroken into four curriculum blocks, taught “round-robin” by four professors: an EE section, anME section, a general engineering profession and projects section, and a hands-on/laboratory(technology-professor) section. The hope is that students who are dissatisfied with engineeringwill now have a contact and familiarity elsewhere in
