Abstract

A study program for professional software engineering is introduced, which outlines a philosophy oriented towards software technical requirements in industry and market needs. Important aspects of graduates´ profiles are considered and evaluated concerning their engineering substantiation. According to existing deficits and to software technical demands, a special study program is specified and explained in detail. To offer high flexibility, lectures of the educational program are assigned to study complexes. To satisfy the market needs, software and hardware system labs are proposed and described. The study complexes and labs will be merged into an integrated professional software engineering study program based on international standards. To train MSw.E. students, a specialization according to roles, aspects and classes of software products is recommended.
