Progress in both software and hardware technology has been furious over the past decade. Software is now ubiquitous -- embedded in nearly every aspect of modern society, both personal and professional. The insatiable demand for sophisticated software has drastically changed both the technological and economic landscape of software development for the 21st century. Some notable changes are that current software systems:


  • are network-centric rather than standalone computer-centric
  • have rapidly changing requirements, rather than long-term stability
  • are built primarily from components (e.g. COTS) rather than from scratch
  • are stakeholder value-driven versus value-neutral

Industry has had to rapidly adapt to these changes, through the introduction of new development processes (e.g. Agile methods) and through the explicit integration of business and economic considerations (e.g. software business case, product lines).

But where does software engineering education find itself? Are we still teaching 20 th century software engineering? Are we adequately preparing university students for the challenges of their 40-year-long careers?
