“…So if the students are well-versed in emerging technologies then in-house training duration will be less, which means less time and money for organizations [19]. Jaakkola et al [13] also supported that SE curriculum should correspond to the industry needs, only then can Universities produce highly skilled professionals, which can satisfy needs of software industry. They further argued that development of curricula should take into account different standards, frameworks, and recommendations developed by different interest groups.…”

“…While students can have a high level of theoretical knowledge, they often lack the practice of solving real-life industrial problems. Complaints on software quality are becoming common which depends on many factors and partially with university which do not teach essential skills [13]. Many of the challenges associated with software engineering education are due to our inability to provide students 'real world', large-scale software development experiences in an academic environment [26].…”

“…Recently Pyster et al [22] also supported that it reflects software development of the late 1990s and early 2000s and for intsnce it doesn't really address the highly distributed global software development projects and web-based development and agile methods. ACM classification and IEEE SE 2004 models provide tools to position the contents of the curriculum in the map of "computing science", which is important specifically from research perspective [13]. Computing Curricula 2005 overview report is further attempt of IEEE and ACM joint task force towards providing guidelines in Computer engineering, computer science, information technology, information systems and software engineering undergraduate course.…”

In recent years, Software Engineering (SE) has emerged as an independent and mature discipline. In this context, various studies are being done to provide guidelines for undergraduate about graduate software engineering curriculum design. This article presents need of software industry related courses and discusses significance of industry linked software engineering education to meet educational objectives of all stakeholders. Software industry oriented curriculum for graduate level are discussed. Software industry aligned courses will facilitate to increase their employment prospects in industrial and other sectors.

“…Software engineering (SE) learning approaches have continuously evolved over the last few decades [1]. The driving force has primarily been the industry demand for skilled employees [2] and academic concern about teaching relevant topics [3,4]. Important recommendations have long been available from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) [5], including extensive experience in software engineering curricula.…”

Contemporary approaches and trends in software engineering courses have been continuously updated over the last four decades. Adaptation to industry needs is crucial for future educational purposes and vice versa. Tech startups have become a driving force in the economy and a major industry trend. The goal of this paper is first to critically assess how contemporary industry trends and in particular, tech startups have influenced the updating of software engineering curricula. The second goal is to evaluate the contribution of industry and in particular, tech startups, processes and models in present learning approaches. The third goal addresses how stakeholders have helped in the infusion of industry trends and in particular, in tech startup approaches in academia. This study is a systematic literature mapping. A total of 138 papers were selected based on education goals, research, and contribution type. Of the primary education topics, 78% were related to teaching strategies, 9% to globalization and training methods, and less than 5% to tech startup and industry innovation. Common stakeholders accounting for the change are students, researchers, and lecturers and project managers, product owners, customers, and clients from industry. This study showed that industrial models or methods involving Agile and Scrum have been widely adopted. Less investigated areas that have recently become common industry trends, such as tech startup models adopting lean methodology, require further attention and might create opportunities for updating the curricula. We discuss future model possibilities for exploiting tech startups as a means for renewing future capstone courses. Index Terms-software engineering courses, teaching approaches, mapping study, tech startups

“…Innovations and improvements in the curriculum are required to bridge academia-industry gap [6] since SE education has inability to provide students with large-scale software development experiences [7]. However, only universities can produce highly skilled professionals who can satisfy the needs of software industry by taking into account different standards, frameworks and recommendations developed by interest groups [8].…”

The software technology is advancing rapidly over the years. In order to adapt to this advancement, the employees on software development should renew themselves consistently. During this rapid change, it is vital to train the proper software developer with respect to the criteria desired by the industry. Therefore, the curriculum of the programs related to software development at the universities should be revised according to software industry requirements. In this study, the core part of Software Development Curriculum is determined by applying association rule mining on Software Job ads in Turkey. The courses in the core part are chosen with respect to IEEE/ACM computer science curriculum. As a future study, it is also important to gather the academic personnel and the software company professionals to determine the compulsory and elective courses so that newly graduated software developers can easily adapt to the software projects in the market without taking extra training.
