Abstract

In the fall of 1996, RIT admitted the first students to a new undergraduate program in software engineering. Our goal in creating the program was to provide for the education of a new type of engineer: the software engineer. This paper presents the rationale for developing such a program, the process we followed in its design, and an outline of the distinctive features it possesses.
