Inthis WIP article, we will discuss the justification for including DevOps within a Software EngineeringProgram, discuss the challenges that this methodology places upon an instructor to teach, ideas forincorporating this material into the program, and how this can be extended to address the inclusion ofsecurity through a discussion of DevSecOps.IntroductionThe discipline of software engineering is generally attributed to the 1960’s, with the specifics of theterminology either coming from Margaret Hamilton and her work with NASA [2] or the 1968 NATOConference on Software Engineering [3]. Since then, the discipline has grown and evolved
