Competency-based approach teaching software engineering

Abstract

The paper studies the possibilities of practical implementation of the competence-oriented approach in university software engineering courses. The emerging problems of such a transition are identified and options for their practical solution are discussed on an example of Software Engineering programs implementation at two Latvian technical universities. The paper describes definition and practical evaluation of Software Engineering competences in existing bachelor and master programs in accordance with the requirements of e-CF (European Competence Framework).
