International SE ProgramsThe first results of a large-scale survey of international academic software engineering programsfound almost 6800 students enrolled in SE degree programs in 11 different countries 13. Therewere 60 institutions that participated in the survey, and the breakdown of the institutions is asfollows: thirty-five institutions were from the United States; four institutions were from Canada;two institutions were from the United Kingdom and (Stuttgart, Slovakia); and one institutioneach from Ireland, Sweden, Spain, South America, Australia and New Zealand. This surveyincorporated existing databases complied by Software Engineering Institution (SEI), Forum forAdvancing Software engineering Education (FASE), and other research endeavors to

mayhinder student’s learning in an information overload situation. Research that focuses on gettingmore out of the classroom experience shows that user-interaction in selecting data keeps thestudents interested in material3. These studies indicate that students’ needs and viewpoints haveto be taken into consideration when course material is given in technology-based classrooms.More importantly, an internet-based platform provides a standardized means for interactivity andcollaboration. This expanded capability allows for new active educational alternatives. Forinstance, enhancing the learning process with both synchronous and asynchronous ways ofcommunication is now possible. This means that the teaching and learning relationship inclassrooms can

Most students would only do select portions ofthe assignment, realizing they would receive partial credit. The problem we tried to fix was
that suits a variety of learning styles. For example, the program has left significant leeway for service learning components in the classroom, in the form of final projects or in the Senior Capstone class. Service learning typically engages students, faculty and community members in a community project. These types of projects allow students to become connected to the community and, thus, to provide a sense of civic engagement. Surveys have shown overwhelmingly that over 65% of students recognize civic engagement as a critical part of their education [10]. Research further indicates that women learn most effectively when theoretical concepts and classroom

Frank Ackerman has 50 years of experience in all phases of software development. In 1985, he founded the Institute For Zero Defect Software to do applied research, consulting, and training for software de- velopment organizations seeking to improve the reliability of their software. His personal experience has lead him to the conviction that today’s development organizations can achieve significant improvement in software reliability for a small increase in effort. Some of his current research and educational activities are focused on improving current specification, coding, test
