A proposal for technology-based software engineering curriculum development

Abstract

A group of software engineering educators, has embarked on a project to implement and support the creation and adaptation of a common set of teaching material and strategies for software engineering education at the undergraduate level of education. The outcome of this project is a framework, in the form of a repository of best practice software engineering teaching modules, assessment artifacts, and case projects that are founded on a set of program outcomes for undergraduate education in software engineering. The philosophy of the research is that the availability of shared pedagogical material that have been developed in a collaborative manner will advance the learning goals, and promote the adoption of teaching strategies that are in the students' best interest.
