desired skillset uniform across local industry or was there considerable variance from one employer to another?  Where in our program could we add content? Would we be adding courses, modifying existing courses, or some combination?A two phase project was defined and included in our ABET improvement project process. Theprocess was similar to the process defined by Sticklen et al [3] to gather input from industry andimplement in a local program. The first phase would involve an assessment of needs as definedby local industry stakeholders. The second phase would be a process of deciding how tointegrate this into our curriculum.Requirements Collection and VerificationOur first step was to create a survey to serve as a tool for

. Finally, the last representative turned thequestion around into a challenge, saying “No, but we are waiting for someone like you to join usand show us whey we should be using them.”At the same time, there is never enough room in a software engineering curriculum for all thetopics the faculty judge to be important. For this reason, the place (or not) of formal methods inan undergraduate program will continue to be debated. Comments and suggestions from othermembers of the software engineering education community are solicited and welcome.References1. J. P. Bowen and M. G.

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Industry Involvement in an Undergraduate Software Engineering Project Course: Everybody WinsThe “Software Engineering Project” (SE 4485) is a one-semester capstone course in our undergraduateSoftware Engineering curriculum at the University of Texas at Dallas (hereafter, simply referred to asUTD). It is intended to complement the theoretical knowledge that students receive in their prior (andongoing) courses and provide them with an in-depth, hands-on experience in all aspects of softwareengineering. They are expected to walk-through the various phases of a software development life-cyclesuch as

thatholds learning content for Software Engineering courses, and provides students, project teams,and instructors with advanced tools to create, share, and annotate both the learning content andan organizational structure for that content. Traditional course management systems, teamproject repositories, wikis, etc., usually fragment information into silos (that is, into distinctinformation storage locations which are not integrated). We seek a system to help integrate thefragmented information into a whole across the curriculum and the student’s academic careerand to improve student interaction with learning content and with each other in project teams

Engineering Disciplines? A Critical Analysis of ABET’s Software Engineering Curriculum GuidelinesAbstractSince the 1968 NATO Conference which coined the term “software engineering”, softwarepractitioners and educators alike have been fighting an uphill battle over the right to be viewed asengineers. The Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical andElectronic Engineers Computer Society (IEEE-CS) joined forces to try and come to terms withthe question of what exactly is software engineering? From the initial work done by theSoftware Engineering Education Project (SWEEP) that developed draft accreditation criteria forundergraduate degrees in software engineering (SWE) in 1998, to the

systems, etc. The projects concentrating onrobotic devices can use them as a vehicle to convey STEM related knowledge to undergraduatestudents across the curriculum. Given the attractiveness of autonomous or manually controlledrobots, it is assumed that the student population across various STEM related courses, inrespective disciplines, will respond positively to acquiring knowledge associated with applyingthe robots in their respective subjects of study. In this view, the objective of this project is to develop robotics applications that can be usedacross the undergraduate STEM curricula to encourage students of various STEM majors toenhance knowledge in their disciplines, study topics related to robotics and ultimately initiaterelated

Preliminary Results The course has been offered twice so far (Spring 2015 and Fall 2015) serving a total of 46students from three program areas (computer science, electrical engineering, computerengineering). Figure 1 and Figure 2 show demographics of course participants. While the coursewas open to both undergraduate seniors and graduate students, only the first offering hadstudents from both levels (13 graduate and 9 undergraduate seniors); participants in the secondoffering were all graduate students.

To this end we have incorporated concept maps as an assessment tool in our upper- Page 25.213.9division project-based Software Enterprise curriculum. Concept maps reify students’ organizingprinciples of the material learned in context. At present we employ this method to evaluate thestudent only as a resulting artifact of the pedagogy; future work may include creating formativeand perhaps self- assessment processes to assist students in organizing knowledge better.Concept maps may also one day form a basis for
