                 the nation's universities are the current targets of
                 much criticism by software professionals. The common
                 complaint is that the existing curricula do not relate
                 to many of the most important problems a software
                 engineer faces in the industrial/business environment.
                 If we define software engineering as the establishment
                 and application of sound engineering principles to
                 obtain economically software that is reliable and works
                 efficiently on real machines, it is mandatory that we
                 recognize software engineering as more than simply
                 converting a given set of program specifications into
                 executable code. The software engineer must deal with
                 the entire software life cycle which spans the time
                 from the conception of the product, through the
                 development phase, and finally to the end of its
                 operational life. Medium- to large-scale software
                 projects typically involve a myriad of managers,
                 engineers, programmers, and customers which leads to
                 the need for effective management and communications to
                 ensure the best possible product. Therefore, the
                 software engineering curriculum must include the
                 following basic education areas: computer science and
                 engineering, management science, communication skills,
                 and problem solving in addition to fundamental physical
                 and business sciences. Disparities between academic
                 attitudes and profit-making realities are described and
                 fundamental elements of an effective curriculum are
                 proposed in this paper. A suggested 4-year curriculum
                 leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Software
                 Engineering is also presented.",
