Focus on masters' level education in software engineering. Topics discussed include: software engineering principles, current software engineering curricula, experiences with ex- isting courses, and the future of software engineering edu- cation.

This volume is a record of two events held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as part of the SEI Software Engineering Education and Training Week in July 18-21, 1989. The first section includes 15 refereed papers presented at the Third SEI Conference on Software Engineering Education and the SEI Education Program's annual revised report on Master Software Engineering curriculum recommendations. The second part contains unrefereed position papers submitted by participants in the SEI Workshop on an Undergraduate Software Engineering Curriculum. The annual SEI Conference on Software Engineering Education brings together educators from universities, industry and government to discuss problems and issues of mutual interest. Its goals are to stimulate new educational approaches, to provide a forum for discussions of mutual problems, and to evaluate promising new ideas. The topics of the papers are industry issues and programs, teaching software maintenance, undergraduate software engineering education and related topics.
