Abstract

This paper provides a comparison of the curricular recommendations for IT and a CS course in software engineering, including the specific topics covered in a recent class. The evolution of the semester project for this class, a web-based interface to a multimedia database for instructors and students, created in part by end users, is described and correlations are drawn to the IT curriculum recommendations. The course is proposed as appropriate, in general, as an elective in the IT curriculum that serves as a companion to the IT capstone.
