ABSTRACT
This paper describes the educational programs in software engineering at Wang Institute of Graduate Studies. Programs discussed are the Master of Software Engineering degree program, the Eastern Institute in Computer Science, the Distinguished Lecturer series, the Corporate Associates Program, and the Wang Institute Software Environment Project. Major emphasis is placed on the Master of Software Engineering program. The paper provides a definition of software engineering, states the goals and objectives of the Masters program, outlines admission requirements, presents an overview of the curriculum, and relates the admission requirements and curriculum to the goals and objectives of the program. The Eastern Institute and Distinguished Lecturer programs are non-credit educational programs open to the software community. The Corporate Associates Program and Software Environment project are software related service programs. The nature of these programs and their relationships to the Master of Software Engineering program are discussed.
