Abstract/Summary:
Software engineering as a field of study and practice is a relatively new discipline. Some would argue that it is not even an engineering discipline; however, a more prevalent view is that it is simply evolving and not yet mature. Although there exist curriculum guides produced for various computing curricula and some early work done to support software engineering curriculum development, there is no existing document that provides broad and comprehensive information and direction for the development of programs in software engineering.;Seeing the gap between practice and academic study, some courses in Software Engineering program from universities will be concentrated on and some summaries will be concluded for easy understanding. The main purpose of this survey is to provide detailed assistance to faculty in the design and development of programs in software engineering and other related curricula. The most important issue is after seeing this survey; it will be quite clear how to compare the software engineering program in different universities with respect to the program.
