Abstract

This paper discusses the introduction of the object oriented programming paradigm in software engineering education. Although the subject has being growing in importance over the past few years, its inclusion among the software engineer assets is still very limited. It is suggested that teaching of OOP be included as early as possible in undergraduate and graduate curricula as opposed to the current situation of leaving the subject to advanced courses; issues related to re-educating experienced programmers, including faculty, are also presented
