Abstract :
We have developed a curriculum for a software engineering undergraduate degree. We used the medical school clinical model to guide our design as it successfully combines both knowledge and practice components. Through rotations, our curriculum will provide graduates with both an advanced knowledge of software engineering concepts and practical skills that have been honed in a realistic setting. We present our proposed curriculum and the difficulties we foresee in implementing it.
