General Observations IT is cool in CEE; IT enrolments are on the rise; IT education is seen as a “ticket to a better life” Jobs argument is not as relevant for CEE as for the USA; 70-80% of senior students already work Universities are moving from Soviet-stile system to Western-style From 5 years of education for all university students to Bachelors/Masters Governments are in the process of establishing new national educational standards There is a big disconnect between Academia and Industry (aging faculty; low salaries; mostly public funding; no incentives for improving quality)

CEE: Two Ways to Apply SE2004 As a general guidance for STEM elucidators Since many of STEM graduates go into software development industry As a basis for (new) national educational standards

How SE2004 Was Applied We published the Russian translation of SE2004 Curriculum Guidelines Distributed for free - great “Thank You” to APKIT, Intel and Microsoft who sponsored this effort National educational standards on Software Engineering are under development now Based on SE2004 Key modifications include increasing required # of hours for mathematical courses, English and humanitarian courses New standards are currently piloted in 30+ universities

Lessons Learnt Localization is important since a lot of faculty do not speak English It is not always easy to localize – for example, there is/was no direct translation for the “computing” word to Russian Special attention to English to help graduates get access to global market Still a lot of efforts have to be invested into “globalization” of CEE SE education Collaboration with local industry to provide students with real-life experience Strong emphasis on fundamental education is the competitive advantage for CEE universities and must be maintained

SE2014: Suggested Improvements More country templates Explicit entry/exit criteria More attention to globalization Recommendations for specializations by function by vertical More practice More attention to entrepreneurship
