Abstract

Modeling is a key skill in software development. The ability to develop, manipulate and understand models for software is therefore an important learning objective in many CS/SE courses. In this working group, we investigated how and when (software) modeling is taught to help us better understand the key issues in teaching (software) modeling. Several shortcomings were found in common curricula, both in their understanding of the term \modeling" and in how they address its teaching. This WG report summarizes the findings and formulates recommendations on the inclusion of software modeling courses in future CS/SE curricula.
