Directions in software engineering education

The authors briefly review the history and literature of computing education. The goal is to point out resources for those who would like to gain a perspective on these issues. The authors consider broader issues of software engineering education. Four of these issues are: (a) the definition of software engineering and its relationship to other disciplines; (b) the content of software engineering programs; (c) the organization of computing education at the university; and (d) the relationship of computing education with the applications of computing. These issues are discussed.<<ETX>>
