of high importance. All of our respondents emphasizedwhat an important tool and concept this is, and noted that it should integrated across thecurriculum if possible. It was suggested that the topic be introduced as a concept, used on anindividual basis later, and finally used in a team setting (either on new large code base or toaccess an existing code base). This topic was not covered in our curriculum except in the CScourse “Software Tools”, which our engineering students cannot typically fit into their schedule.Working with existing codeWhile it is a challenge to approach this in a class setting, the results indicate that it would behelpful if students could gain experience at working with code they didn’t develop, and withbodies of code

Courses are aimed at preparing graduates for practice in a specific field of the technological spectrum. Courses are laboratory based and have a high component of practical practice and practical application. Hands-on experience is stressed in an educational environment targeted at producing “job ready’ graduates. As a degree program in Software Engineering Technology, the developed curriculum offerslaboratory based courses in hardware construction and design and software construction anddesign. Class sizes are targeted at 20 students. Laboratories are taught by the professors givinglectures. All students

the answer is more than just having a defined process.Transparently managed projects that faculty mentors can evaluate progress on continuously,instead of in periodic increments, allow faculty to make constant small adjustments to helpstudents progress on projects and progress in achieving learning outcomes. Part of the ability tocontinuously manage Enterprise projects comes directly from Scrum. Part of the ability comesfrom having integrated tool support through Google sites and RTC/Jazz. In particular, toolsupport helps the labor-intensive tasks of estimating and tracking work in these various softwareengineering activities without creating burdensome documentation requirements.3.1 Agility and Team ConcertTeam Concert is an integrated

In order to significantly reduce thenumber of vulnerabilities, security must be taught as part of the foundation of the developmentprocess in the software engineering curriculum. Software engineering courses with an integrated coverage of security have been introduced attwo universities. Security issues have been integrated into every phase of the software life-cyclefrom requirements through testing. Both approaches use a threat model to document and drivesecurity concerns throughout the development process. Students analyze the risk of each threatdocumented in the threat model, then use the evaluations to design appropriate security measuressuch as access control and encryption.

Software engineering inthe automotive industry provides a strong platform for student exploration.One key hurdle for integration of automobiles into a software engineering curriculum is that ofaccess. Vehicles based on classic internal combustion (IC) engine power sources require speciallaboratory space, have harmful emissions to deal with and are hard to keep clean.

pedagogy is that the instructorsimply cannot cover the same volume of content as s/he might in a traditional class (lecture +homework). The expected benefit is that somehow the students will learn the concepts better, inthe sense they are learned in context. This contextual learning, our argument goes, should lead to1) rapid integration into the workforce upon graduation5, and 2) better structural foundation ofsoftware engineering knowledge that will evolve in an orderly way even after graduation. Thatis, the students understand less “stuff” but understand it in a way that is deeper and betterorganized so as to be better prepared to assimilate new and changing conceptual information, arequirement in the computing sciences.

In fact, the SE 2004 curriculum guidelines2 emphasize the needfor including professional practice in the education of software engineers. A common way toprovide this experience is through instructor and/or student
