Software Assurance Education

Abstract

Software engineering processes for building safe and secure software have existed for a long time. However, these processes-particularly for secure software engineering-have not been widely taught within colleges and universities leading to a shortage of graduates skilled in these areas. This panel will discuss the increasing need for colleges and universities to produce graduates that are skilled in building safe and secure software. Panelists will share their experiences teaching courses in these areas and future directions for curricula.
