1. A short report on Tempus project Zoran Budimac

2. Reminder “Joint MSc Curriculum in Software Engineering”. On September 1, started the last year of the project Participants  Faculties of Science, Novi Sad and Skopje  Faculties of Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Belgrade and Niš  Berlin, Bilbao, and Leicester  S. Stoyanov, I. Jurca

3. Curriculum 2 countries, 4 faculties, 2 kinds, 2 laws, reforms in motion... Basically  3 semesters, 90 ECTS points  2 semesters of lectures + final work  4 of core modules (+1?) + 4 of optional modules (+1?)  Equally weighted  4 contact hours per week

5. Core modules Research methods (SE-C-01) Requirements engineering (SE-C-02) Architecture, design, and patterns (SE-C- 03) Software testing (SE-C-04) System integration (SE-C-05) Information system development process (SE-C-06)

6. Optional modules Software evolution (SE-O-01) Component-based development (SE-O-02) Formal methods engineering (SE-O-03) Software engineering for critical systems (SE-O-04) Privacy, ethics, and social responsibilities (SE-O-05) Applied system thinking (SE-O-06) Business modelling (SE-O-07) E-business (SE-O-08) Business process re-engineering (SE-O-09) Service quality management (SE-O-10) Software engineering for database systems (SE-O-11) Advanced topics in software engineering (SE-O-12)

7. "Overall, we think that the contents and distribution of the curriculum are reasonably well adapted to the current needs of European software industry." (page 21); "The Joint MSc Curriculum in Software Engineering comprises an ambitious and determined effort. We foresee that its implementation will allow many students to learn about current software engineering theory and practice and become competent members of the profession." (page 27); European Software Institute

8. In fact… Pretty extensive review (30 pages) Three kinds of suggestions  To clarify some aspects / points  To fill-in missing information  Two substantial suggestions Student can choose to be ‘soft’ ??? Another document (ECTS, detailed module template) Intentionally
