Abstract

This paper is a collection of reflections on some of the curricular decisions made in “Software Engineering 2004,” the Software Engineering volume of the Computing Curricula 2001 project. We briefly describe the contents of the Volume and the process used in developing the Volume's guidelines. We then look in more detail at the rationale behind some of the more controversial decisions made. We conclude with how we expect the Volume to be used in practice.
