Description: This volume combines the proceedings of the 1987 SEI Conference on Software Engineering Education with the set of papers that formed the basis for that conference. The purpose of the book is to improve the state of software engineering education by collecting together current thinking and practical experience in software engineering education. The volume contains 23 refereed papers, summaries of discussions, three invited presentations, and two panel sessions. The papers cover undergraduate issues in undergraduate software engineering education, teaching software engineering project courses, graduate level software engineering education, and industrially-oriented education and training for software engineers. The two panel sessions are concerned with four models of industrial/academic interfaces and the role of Ada in software engineering education. The intended audience for this text include all those who are interested in or involved in developing computer science and software engineering curricula, not only in universities, but also in industry. This text should provide a starting point for additional work in the development of coherent software engineering curricula.
