Abstract :
Software defects lead to security vulnerabilities, which are costing businesses millions of dollars each year and threaten the security of individuals and the nation. It can be demonstrated that changes to the software engineering process can help to reduce the number of defects in new or changed software. Universities play a major role in the education and training of software engineers. This paper proposes a new way of teaching software development. The changes in curricula are designed to be time neutral, to not increase the length of courses, yet still significantly improve the outcome
