The Fifth SEI Conference on Software Engineering was held in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 7-8, 1991. This annual
conference is a forum for discussion of software engineering
education and training among members of the academic,
industry, and government communities. It is funded by the
Education Program of the Software Engineering Institute, a
federallyfunded research and development center of the U.S.
Department of Defense. For the first time in 1991 it was
held in conjunction with the Association for Computing
Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society. Seven sessions
addressed: software project courses, software engineering
training in government and industry, curriculum issues,
software engineering teaching styles, teaching design,
topics inreal time and environments, and developing
software engineering expertise.
