Abstract

Industry often complains that current university curricula fail to address the practical issues of real software development. This paper outlines a proposal for an innovative core curriculum for a Bachelor of Science in computer science. The proposed core curriculum contains elements of traditional computer science programs combined with software engineering via a team-oriented, hands-on approach to large-scale software development. In addition to traditional lecture/project/exam courses, students are required to take an eight-semester sequence of "Software Factory" courses. Software Factory courses put the students' newly acquired skills to work in a real software organization staffed and managed by all students in the program. Students from all courses in the Software Factory sequence meet simultaneously to fulfil their roles in the software organization. We expect the students will be better-prepared software engineering practitioners after completing a curriculum that combines traditonal courses with practical Software Factory experience.

软件工厂:结合本科计算机科学和软件工程教育

工业界经常抱怨当前的大学课程不能解决真正的软件开发的实际问题。本文概述了一个创新的核心课程的建议理学士计算机科学。建议的核心课程包含传统计算机科学课程的元素，通过以团队为导向的大规模软件开发实践方法，将其与软件工程相结合。除了传统的讲座/项目/考试课程外，学生还需要参加八个学期的“软件工厂”课程。软件工厂课程将学生新获得的技能运用到一个真正的软件组织中，该组织由所有参加课程的学生组成和管理。来自软件工厂序列中所有课程的学生同时会面，以履行他们在软件组织中的角色。我们期望学生在完成将传统课程与实际软件工厂经验相结合的课程后，将成为准备更好的软件工程实践者。
