Recognizing that the 21st century globaleconomy requires well
Engineering concepts began to trickle down into theundergraduate curriculums, typically in the Computer Science or Computer Engineering areas. In 1995,ISO/IEC 12207 [1] was published, providing a baseline for the discipline. The concept of a softwareengineering major was first put forth in 1997 [2]. Work then began on a set of guidelines for thedevelopment of an undergraduate curriculum [3].In 1996, Rochester Institute of Technology admitted the first students into its program [4], which thenled in 2001 to the first programs receiving ABET accreditation using the program criterion of Figure 1. Aswould be expected, evolution within the discipline continued, including the publication of the first bookof knowledge for software engineering (SWEBOK) in
