About the project SWENET - The Network Community for Software Engineering Education Production and organization of high-quality materials supporting software engineering education Developed on the foundation of ABET program criteria for software engineering education and the classification proposed by the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) project (IEEE and ACM) http: //www. swenet. org/

Members Rochester Institute of Technology Texas Tech Georgia Tech Drexel University Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Univ. Milwaukee School of Eng.

Project goals Identify main areas of importance Provide tested materials to be adopted, modified and enhanced, not a specific curriculum Create a dynamic repository Help the faculty members to include SE curricula The collection in one location of the tried and tested materials Academic and industry usage

Main areas of importance Define the main areas of undergraduate SE education Design Quality Requirements Process Further subdivision into modules of 1 to 6 lecture hours

Categories Computing Essentials (CMP) Professional Practice (PRF)* Software Design (DES)* Software Process (PRO)* Software Evolution (EVO)* Software Quality (QUA)* Mathematical and Engineering Fundamentals (FND) System and Application Specialties (SAS) Software Modeling and Analysis (MAA)* Software Management (MGT)* Software Verification and Validation (VAV)*

Modules The Software Engineering Profession Informal Requirements Modeling (REQ 1) Overview of Software Engineering: What is Software Engineering?
