“…It also poses a challenge for educators to prepare engineers who have a good understanding in mathematics, natural sciences etc. to work effectively on multidisciplinary projects [33]. Software engineering students can be encouraged to take courses offered by other departments.…”

Software plays a critical role in industry, academia and everyday life. Owing to the fact that practices in other fields such as science, engineering and business have changed over the years. Nature of real world problems is rapidly changing. As a result Software engineering has emerged as perhaps the most dynamic discipline of engineering, software engineers of the twenty-first century face new challenges and their roles are being constantly redefined. In order to better equip software engineers for these roles, software engineering education has to be constantly reviewed and innovations must be introduced. This paper suggests some measures (utilizing some recent innovations) that can help improve software engineering education Better preparing software engineering students for professional careers. Target audiences for this paper are mainly those software engineering educators who are willing to improve education at their universities/colleges.

“…In SE, Zucconi [18] suggests, the underlying disciplines of central importance are psychology, computer science and discrete mathematics, while disciplines such as physics and continuous mathematics only support some applications. Zucconi also suggests an SE needs to be well organised, able to work as a member of a multi-disciplinary team, and able to work within the scope of the employer's policies and procedures and society's tenets.…”

“…However, the professional practice is dominated by the team environment and thus individual programming courses only go a small way to fulfilling the professional requirements of a software engineer. Zucconi (1995), as cited in Armarego (2004), suggests that software engineers need to be able to work as a member of a multidisciplinary team, to be well organised, engage in lifelong learning and be able to work within the scope of the employer's policies and procedures. Gibson and O'Kelly (2005) add to this list by citing critical thinking, problem analysis, solving complex real world problems and demonstration of versatile and effective communication skills both oral and written.…”

University graduates may struggle to convert the skills they have learnt in software engineering design principles to real-world situations such as would be found in industry. The traditional teaching practice of lectures and tutorials is not providing the context nor sufficient practice for students to develop the skills needed to solve real work problems. This paper investigates the use of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and its application to software engineering and distance education. Through a sound pedagogical approach the key skills of PBL (as endorsed by PBL practitioners, such as problem solving and independent learning) can be developed in the students as they are exposed to real world software engineering problems.
