Abstract

The swift advancement of computerization has resulted in an increased need for individuals skilled in a variety of highly technical fields. This demand is currently inadequately met by the United States? domestic workforce and rural areas are underserved by technological resources and opportunities. Due to political and legislative volatility, fixing this workforce shortage is not feasible. Instead, the long-term solution is the cultivation of domestic workforce with high technical expertise. Therefore, we propose a software engineering curriculum that follows the 2 + 2 educational model to meet the needs of community college students in North Carolina as a model for similar initiatives on a regional and national scale. In this paper, we discuss the current status of computer science and software engineering education in North Carolina community colleges, including the current degree programs and relevant curriculum content. Finally, we discuss our proposed curriculum for a 2 + 2 articulation program in software engineering.

通过软件工程的发音程序提高学生的成功

计算机化的迅速发展导致对各种高技术领域的熟练人才的需求增加。这一要求目前没有得到美国的充分满足。国内劳动力和农村地区缺乏技术资源和机会。由于政治和立法的不稳定，解决劳动力短缺问题是不可行的。相反，长期的解决办法是培养具有高技术专长的国内劳动力。因此，我们提出了一个遵循2 + 2教育模式的软件工程课程，以满足北卡罗莱纳州社区大学学生的需求，并将其作为区域和全国范围内类似举措的模型。本文讨论了北卡罗来纳州社区学院计算机科学与软件工程教育的现状，包括目前的学位课程和相关课程内容。最后，我们讨论了我们建议的软件工程2 + 2衔接课程。
