Abstract

Software engineering is entering the educational mainstream at a time when budgets are tight, growth opportunities are limited, and existing disciplines are fighting to retain their share of a shrinking educational pie. This paper discusses some of the fundamental reasons why this situation is not likely to improve, and addresses ways software engineering can utilize modern computing and communication technology to overcome these limitations and, indeed, to lead the way in innovative education.
