dc.description.abstract	The term "software engineering" has been in use for nearly 20 years since the so-called "software crisis" was identified in the late 1960's. However, it is only comparatively recently that courses in software engineering have begun to be taught in university computer science departments. Various reasons have been cited for the slow acceptance of software engineering as a subject in a computer science curriculum, for example the lack of suitable textbooks, the lack of suitably qualified staff, a perceived conflict between the "scientific" and "engineering" approaches to computing as well as students' lack of experience with large scale software and their resulting inability to appreciate the problems.	en
