Generating undergraduate software engineering courses/programs using the computing curricula software engineering volume

The Software Engineering Volume is part of the IEEE-CS/ACM Computing Curricula effort that began in the fall of 1998 when a group of dedicated individuals from the IEEE Computer Society and the ACM were appointed by the two societies to begin work on what was then called Computing Curriculum 2001. This Steering Committee came to the conclusion that the area of computing had gone beyond the boundaries of computer science and that one volume would not effectively contain all of the newer areas of computing that had been developed. It was decided to split the Computing Curriculum effort into several volumes: namely, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, and Information Systems volumes. The main goals of the IEEE-CS/ACM Computing Curricula effort are to provide guidance to academic institutions and accreditation agencies about what should constitute an undergraduate education in one of the aforementioned areas.
