16楼 发表于 2006-6-8 15:42 资料 个人空间 短消息 加为好友 No school requires a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering as a prerequisite, while only a handful of programs require a degree in a computing or engineering field. In most cases, the software engineering programs allow passage a set of core math and computer science courses (often similar to those enumerated in the SEI graduate curriculum model) as a sufficient prerequisite for admission. Thus, the possibility of entering a Master’s degree program in software engineering with an unrelated Bachelor’s degree is certainly still possible in most programs. In the previous section, the core areas of the SEI graduate curriculum model were presented. Since then, an IEEE Computer Society project entitled the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) has been developed and is now in its second edition [5]. The Guide divides software engineering into a series of ten knowledge areas (KAs): • Requirements • Design (including Architecture) • Construction • Testing • Maintenance • Configuration Management • Engineering (Project) Management • Process • Tools and Methods • Quality (including Verification and Validation) ※ 来源：考研论坛 bbs.kaoyan.com

17楼 发表于 2006-6-8 15:43 资料 个人空间 短消息 加为好友 Table III shows how those KAs are reflected in courses within the software engineering curricula of the 43 schools listed in the previous two tables. For this table, “Tools and Methods” was divided into “Tools” and “Formal Methods”; also included are “general” (survey) software engineering courses (usually at the introductory level), and courses on human-computer interaction and measurement/metrics. No distinction is made here between required and elective courses (since some programs include a core set of courses, but others have individual tracks), and courses with titles involving two topics (such as “Software Construction and Maintenance”) were counted in both categories. As would be expected from an engineering degree program, almost every program contains at least one design course, while three of the other core areas in the SEI model curriculum (requirements, management and quality assurance) also rank in the top five. The fact that a formal methods course exists in almost half of the SE Master’s programs is also probably due to the influence of the SEI model. Construction courses are in only eight curricula, but this does not take into account the 18 programs with object-oriented development courses, many of which have a strong implementation component. Also of interest are the 27 programs with at least one “general” software engineering course. Although such courses are commonplace in undergraduate curricula, the SEI (and Carnegie Mellon) did not include one since such a class - which would cover the entire software lifecycle - would have to be taken alongside more specific courses such as requirements specification. Instead, many MSE curricula have chosen to take a “depth-first” approach to the various software engineering KAs instead of the breadth-first paradigm of having one or more general survey courses. Finally, almost all of the 43 programs have courses which focus on one or more application domains. The most frequently listed domain was real-time embedded systems; networks, safety and wireless communication were also listed in a number of programs. ※ 来源：考研论坛 bbs.kaoyan.com

18楼 发表于 2006-6-8 15:44 资料 个人空间 短消息 加为好友 RELATED PROGRAMS The authors’ decision to include in the tables only those programs with the precise title of “software engineering” as the degree discipline name has the effect of making it easy to classify which programs should be included; however, there are several schools which have different degree titles but are essentially MSE programs, including the Master of Science in Software Development at Pace University and the Master of Science in Software Engineering Science at Florida A&M University. Gannon University offers a Master of Science in Engineering with a concentration on Embedded Software Engineering, thus focusing on a particular application domain. Many schools offer Master’s degree in computer science or some other computing field with an emphasis on software engineering. In all, the Peterson’s online guide [16] contains 91 degree programs with some relation to software engineering – however, in some cases that may be as little as having a faculty member with a research interest in software engineering. There are also graduate certificate programs in software engineering. Such programs usually consist of five to six core software engineering courses; such certificates allow the student to complete a post-undergraduate program in a shorter amount of time. ※ 来源：考研论坛 bbs.kaoyan.com

19楼 发表于 2006-6-8 15:47 资料 个人空间 短消息 加为好友 COMPARISON TO UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS As of fall 2004, there were about 30 undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (BSSE) programs in the United States [4], six of which have already been accredited by the ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) in 2003 and 2004 [13], with several more expected in the next several years. Also, a joint committee of the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) recently released Software Engineering 2004 [10], specifying recommendations for undergraduate software engineering curricula. (This effort was part of the Computing Curricula project sponsored by the two organizations.) Most of the accredited undergraduate degree programs in software engineering have a set of core SE courses with topics very similar to those of graduate programs, which is understandable due to the fact that there have been common sources to draw from, such as the SEI graduate curriculum guidelines and SWEBOK. There is often a difference in how the courses are taught, however, since 1) graduate courses should in general be more rigorous and 2) the graduate courses are usually geared towards professionals, while the undergraduate classes are not. Some people believe that software engineering as an academic discipline is best addressed at the Master’s level. For instance, Dennis J. Frailey, Principal Fellow at the Raytheon Company in Dallas and long-time adjunct professor of computer science and software engineering at Southern Methodist University, comments: “Yes, I believe [a software engineering degree] is more effective at the Master's level. I believe that being an effective software engineer requires several things including: • A solid undergraduate program covering the fundamentals of computer science and/or computer engineering. • Significant amounts of experience in doing commercial software engineering. • Considerable depth and breadth in topics that are best learned after one has had the abovementioned experience (because the experience gives you a much deeper appreciation of why the topics are important). Furthermore, this degree of depth and breadth cannot be covered in an undergraduate program unless it shortchanges the students in their fundamentals. • Continuing education as the field matures and evolves throughout one's career. ※ 来源：考研论坛 bbs.kaoyan.com

20楼 发表于 2006-6-8 15:49 资料 个人空间 短消息 加为好友 An MS degree can provide the last two items. A bachelor's degree provides the first. The second is best learned on real jobs, not in canned exercises in a university, although there are benefits to having students obtain project experience during “This is not to say that an undergraduate SE degree is not appropriate. However it is insufficient for providing the depth and breadth and continuing education needed. Even the best undergraduate SE program needs to be complemented by MS level instruction to provide further depth and breadth and continuing education…” Another forum which discussed the “breadth vs. depth” issue is a panel entitled “Software Engineering Undergraduate Education – Pro and Con” held at the 25th International Conference on Software Engineering (the panel abstract is at http://www.icse-conferences.org/2003/events/panel.html). One issue which was addressed both there at ICSE and elsewhere is the issue of the effect of a 10-week quarter system where a typical course is 4 credit hours (40 contact hours) as opposed to a 15-week semester system where the typical course is 3 credit hours (45 contact hours). Although the ratio of quarter to semester credit hours is 10:15 (or 2:3), the ratio of courses is usually 3:4. So for instance, in the case of the software engineering Bachelor’s degree at Rose-Hulman (which is on the quarter system), this means there is an additional one-twelfth of the curriculum (three-fourths minus two-thirds) available for more courses. At Rose-Hulman this translates to four courses, which allows the software engineering undergraduate curriculum to have the virtually the same amount of computer science breadth that a computer major has, while allowing for core software engineering classes as well. Finally, in February 2005, Rose-Hulman conducted two focus groups of software industry leaders in Indianapolis to gage interest in a possible professional-based MSE program located there [6]. Many of the software developers at these companies have received engineering or computer science degrees at top institutions. However, the focus group participants still felt that an MSE would address a need for their software developers to have a broad understanding of software engineering, especially software process and quality assurance. COMPARISON TO PHD PROGRAMS There are only about three doctoral degree programs in software engineering in United States, although there are a number of dissertations in the area of software engineering generated by computer science PhD students each year. (ICSE has an annual doctoral symposium which showcases such research from around the world.) Certainly software engineering research is needed to help expand the body of knowledge of the discipline; however, at this time it is unclear whether there is currently sufficient breadth in software engineering to justify the number of courses that would be required in a PhD program. ※ 来源：考研论坛 bbs.kaoyan.com

21楼 发表于 2006-6-8 15:50 资料 个人空间 短消息 加为好友 CONCLUSIONS Currently, education in the software engineering discipline in United States is still primarily focused at Master’s level. There are 43 Master’s programs specifically with the “software engineering” title, along with many other programs with related names and similar objectives. These programs are still primarily oriented towards working professionals (often who do not have an undergraduate degree in a computing discipline), with over half of the programs requiring or recommending prior software development work experience and over 75% requiring or having the option of a capstone software project. Over 60% of the programs are delivered solely through the traditional classroom experience; however, 16 of the schools do have an online component or degree option, which allows more flexibility for the working professional. A majority of the programs have courses in the core knowledge areas of requirements, architecture and design, project management and quality assurance. Courses are available in a number of application domain areas, most significantly real-time embedded systems. Although undergraduate software engineering degrees in the United States have emerged over the past decade, many in the industry still feel software engineering education at the graduate level provides a better balance of breadth and depth in the various computing subjects needed for effective software development. It appears that Master’s degrees in software engineering will continue to be viable in foreseeable future. However, the directions in which such programs evolve may well depend upon how quickly the number of undergraduate programs expand, as well as how much the research and knowledge bases of the discipline expand to allow for more PhD-level software engineering programs. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors wish to thank Dennis Frailey for his invaluable comments concerning the value of software engineering Master’s degrees, and how they compare to their undergraduate counterparts.
