Computing curricula software engineering: Position paper

Budgen, David

Abstract

The computing curricula software engineering (CCSE) volume and its development is discussed. The processes adopted for developing this volume have a numer of strengths and weaknesses. The strengths include: the thoroughness of the development process, and the emphasis upon consultation and review; its clear positioning in the computing spectrum. The weaknesses include: there is a strong North American flavor; its structure was not always wholly explicit and only limited evidence was available to the compliers. In the absence of national frameworks and regulatory structures for software engineering, the CCSE does offer real value as a compendium of expert judgement. The ability to cite the CCSE as an authoritative source may be helpful to universities.
