Abstract
The field of software engineering is ever changing. The latest IEEE Curriculum Guidelines, SE2014: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Software Engineering was published in 2014. Since then, the discipline has continued to evolve as the complexity of software systems has reached unprecedented levels. This growth has resulted in organizations shifting to a form of development referred to as DevOps. DevOps is "an interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realization of successful software systems" [1] and has recently been standardized by the IEEE. In this WIP article, we will discuss the justification for including DevOps within a Software Engineering Program, discuss the challenges that this methodology places upon an instructor to teach, ideas for incorporating this material into the program, and how this can be extended to address the inclusion of security through a discussion of DevSecOps.
