G. Pomberger, Software Engeneering Education - Adjusting our Sails, Education & Computing, Vol. 8, No. 4, pp. 287 - 294, Elsevier, April 1993.

It is clear to everyone involved in the field of software engineering that our instruction lags well behind research. Conservative thinkers do not want to leap onto a given bandwagon too early, while even the most progressive thinkers face a profound challenge in incorporating worldwide research into the curriculum. Based on a discussion of current trends in software engineering, this presentation sketches the emphases that need to be placed in the software engineering curriculum.
