Abstract

Abstract In this study an assessment has been made of the Software Engineering course being taught at the undergraduate level in the Universities at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The course being taught at the department of Computer science college of computer and Information Sciences Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University has been selected as sample. For this study the software engineering course CS290 offered at the department of computer science has been considered. For the course contents assessment the standard recommended by the software engineering body of knowledge SWEBOK has been used as a bench mark. As a result of this study some major gaps were found in the SWEBOK and the CS290 course. In some topics the gap is wider where the SWEBOK is proposing application level while the CS290 level is knowledge. Detailed are presented in analysis and result section.
