Is software education narrow-minded? A position paper

Abstract

Campus-based software companies have played a key role in the growth of the software sector. However, the software industry and business do not only need the bright entrepreneurial people who create these companies, they also need individuals to construct systems in many other companies and contexts. It is emphasized that the content of computer science and software engineering courses need to be examined so that students are better prepared to cope with the challenges of a rapidly changing software industry.
