  • Abstract
    The theory that most current students get covers may be 15 percent of the activities they encounter in practice. Most of it is based on a model of software engineering as a set-piece job of deriving and verifying code from a static set of requirements. This was a good model in the 1970s, but it is way out of date now. We should try to educate them for the software engineering situations they will encounter in the future.
