Keynote: Undergraduate Software Engineering Education Options: Independent Programmes, Specialisations or SubjectsSaturday, 22nd March - 9:00At the international level, there are now a range of alternatives for teaching software engineering (SE) in undergraduate programmes: pure SE programmes, computer science programmes offering a specialisation in SE with and without qualifications and computer science programmes including some SE subjects. In this presentation, these alternatives are analysed, addressing aspects such as
This comparative analysis highlights the differences between the European
and US perspective and gives an understanding of the socio-political and
cultural reasons why different undergraduate SE teaching options are now
in place in different countries.
