Abstract :
This paper presents ideas and issues related to the design and implementation of a curriculum for the introductory part of a B.S. degree in Software Engineering (BSSE). It provides a framework for designing curriculum units and other learning activities that will help prepare students for more advanced study in software engineering. The curriculum is called "introductory" because it represents the beginning knowledge and practices that software engineering students must acquire in the first year or two to adequately prepare them for more advanced study.
