软件工程学科建设的若干问题

Some Fundamental Issues about the Construction of Software Engineering Discipline

一、引言在文中,我们指出了软件工程教育的重要性、紧迫性和任务的繁重性;给出了软件工程的若干定义和重要特征。其中有待解决的重要问题之一是软件工程教育的课程建设问题。目前国内外尚无成功的课程模式和成熟的教材,其原因之一是软件工程领域尚处于幼年时期,它的变化与发展之快令人难于预料,以致于在编写有关书籍时墨迹未干,许多内容就已过时了;原因之二在于软件工程所涉及的范围太广了,它不但包含了计算机科学的基础知识,还包含了管理科学、经济学、通讯技术。

The importance and urgancy of software engineering education are pointed out in[1].This papar further discusses several funda- mental issueses about the construction of software engineering discipline.It includes the definition and qualification of a software engineer,the process-oriented and the product-oriented perspectives on softwre engineering,and the identification,organization and division of software engineering knowledge body.
