paper is on outcomes assessment as mandated by ABET,but we acknowledge other sources are also very important. In particular, our program alsoreceives input from a program advisory board, a college advisory board, three and five yearsurveys of graduates and our graduates’ managers, and benchmarks against other programs.OutcomesThe current software engineering outcomes, adopted in December of 2004, are: A. Foundation: Graduates shall have a strong foundation in science, mathematics, and engineering, and can apply this fundamental knowledge to software engineering tasks. B. Development: Graduates can effectively apply software engineering practice over the entire system lifecycle. This includes requirements engineering, analysis

compared to Computer Science and other engineering disciplines. The data shows 29% of the programs have 25 or fewer students and 71% have 100 or fewer. • The admission requirements vary widely. Some will accept anyone with any bachelors degree and a B average while others require a computer science degree and two years of relevant experience. • There is a wide variation in the depth and breadth of SWEBOK coverage in required and semi-required (those which a student has at least a 50% chance of taking) courses. Page 13.34.7 • On average, students take 11.6 courses for their degree, 8.3 of

Between Q and R scope, the following test case is not needed: − − −Q − −(P S) − − − R.There are two issues that are being checked by this test case; it checks that precedence is upheld 6when P and S hold at the same state, and it checks that the interval is built even when R occursin the last state of the computation. These two conditions are covered by test cases 2(a)(vi) and2(b)(iii) respectively as given in Table 3.3 Motivation The main contribution of this paper is to show how the aforementioned notions of patterns andscopes can be used in teaching black-box testing techniques. The motivation behind this use ofpatterns and scopes is twofold; 1) The characteristics of these patterns
