Statistical Analysis on Curriculum of the National Model School of Software Engineering

Abstract

This paper analyzes the curriculum referred to the software engineering undergraduate programs of 31 software schools in the 36 national model schools of software engineering (NMSSE) and analyzes the distribution of the courses. The result shows that the core courses offered by NMSSE cover the core courses released by the teaching guidance committee of computer science and technology of higher school under the Ministry of Education (TGC) and the optional courses are not consistent in the programs of NMSSE. The analysis result can be severed as a resource for improving programs and changing the curriculum in software engineering at the undergraduate level. Also it can provide the references for revising the professional norms.
