Abstract
Work is being undertaken to produce the Software Engineering volume for the ACM/IEEE-CS Computing Curriculum. The prime aim of this Summit was to provide a forum in which early draft chapters of the Software Engineering volume could be used and evaluated by a peer group of academics and industrialists. The objectives and expected outputs for the Summit are outlined and an overview of the presentations that were made is given. The operation and results of a series of participative activities are then described. These were concerned with evaluating the draft chapters and in particular the proposed guidelines for developing Software Engineering academic programmes. Information is also presented on a proposal to restructure the guidelines. Finally some general conclusions are presented.

Recommendations
Undergraduate Computational Science and Engineering Education
It is widely acknowledged that computational science and engineering (CSE) will play a critical role in the future of the scientific discovery process and engineering design. However, in recent years computational skills have been deemphasized in the ...
Imprinting community college computer science education with software engineering principles: work in progress
ACM SE '10: Proceedings of the 48th Annual Southeast Regional ConferenceAlthough the two-year curriculum guide includes coverage of all eight software engineering core topics, the computer science courses taught in the Alabama community colleges limit student exposure to the programming, or coding, phase of the software ...
Software Engineering Education: from an Engineering Perspective
SEEP '96: Proceedings of the 1996 International Conference on Software Engineering: Education and Practice (SE:EP '96)In this paper we explore the development of the curriculum for a new professional engineering degree in Software Engineering. Software Engineering is still a relatively new discipline (in its own right) and its place in the tertiary education sector is ...
