Regents approve software engineering degree

The Board of Regents, State of Iowa, approved a new B.S. degree in software engineering at Iowa State at their meeting Sept. 27.

The new degree program will be jointly administered by the Department of Computer Science in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering.

Students in the degree program will learn engineering aspects - processes, techniques, principles - for developing, analyzing and evolving complex software.

The degree program, in part, responds to a call from two key professional organizations, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Association for Computing Machinery, for more software engineering programs nationally. A joint 2004 report of the two groups included a model curriculum for software engineering.
