Subject: Software Engineering at FIE
The 1996 Frontiers in Education Conference (Nov 6-9, Salt Lake City) is a
premier conference on engineering education, sponsored by teh IEEE
Education Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the ASEE Education
Research and Methods Division.
Thanks to the hard work of Laurie Werth and others, the conference this
year will include a panel session on software engineering education,
moderated by Laurie and with panelists Mike McCracken (Georgia Tech), Mike
Lutz (Rochester Institute of Technology), and Jane Prey (University of
Virginia). We are making inroads into traditional engineering!

Special Issue on
Professional Education for Software Engineers
Properly educated software engineers are crucial to the long-term success of
any software development organization. This need may be partially addressed
by focused software engineering programs at either the undergraduate or
graduate level. In addition, the rapid pace of technological change implies
continual upgrading of software engineering skills via ongoing training
programs. The goal of this issue is to foster discussions among managers,
practitioners, educators, and trainers as to the most effective and
appropriate means to prepare professional software engineers.
We seek original articles addressing the full range of education and training
issues in the field of software engineering. Specific topics that might be
addressed include (but are not limited to):
- -What are the best practices used in industry and government to train
software engineers?
- -How should industry and government training programs evolve if universities
begin graduating significant numbers of software engineers?
- -How can universities and industries collaborate in the education of
software engineers?
- -How can emerging technologies and approaches, such as the Internet and
distance education, be used to enhance software engineering education and
training?
- -What fundamental skills and knowledge characterize the professional
software engineer? What education and training are needed to perform the
job of the professional software engineer?
- -What are the relationships between software engineering and disciplines
such as computer science, electrical engineering, and information systems?
- -Should software engineering education be primarily at the graduate level,
or at the undergraduate level as is customary in other engineering disciplines?
- -What models exist for undergraduate software engineering education?
