Abstract

The “engineering” focus in software engineering education leaves instructors vulnerable to several traps. It also misleads students as to SE's essential human and social dimensions. In this paper we argue that there's more to SE than engineering. A major challenge is to reconcile the engineering dimension with the human and social dimension.
