Abstract

Software plays an increasingly important role in new products of different kinds. Therefore, the need of engineers developing software is continuously increasing. However, computer science education programmes are not enough to fulfill the industrial needs. Software engineering programmes are requested with a holistic approach to the software life cycle and its economics as well as education in monitoring and managing the software process. At Lund University, Sweden, a new Bachelors software engineering programme was launched 1998. In this paper, the education programme principles and structures are presented as well as the experiences from the first year. Software processes and methods play an important part in the education programme.... (More)

In this paper, the education programme principles and structures are presented as well as the experiences from the first year. Software processes and methods play an important part in the education programme. It is concluded that the basic principles function as expected, although the programme must be changed in the direction of having a little more programming skills before the introduction of systematic software processes.
