I can say when I was doing my CS degree this was definitely covered. In fact it is one of the lectures that stood out in my mind at that time. My professor at the time (Bill Leahy) definitely drilled into us the importance of understanding the systems in which we were eventually going to work on.
Not sure if this is still covered today.
- Jtsummers 6y agoPer younger, CS, colleagues who went through school in the last 6 years, it was still being taught at their smaller US colleges.
- phlyingpenguin 6y agoThe book I use to instruct software engineering uses it, and I do use that chapter.
- lxgr 6y agoIt was covered in at least one of my classes as well. (Graduated only a few years ago.)
- Mountain_Skies 6y agoWhen I was the graduate teaching assistant for a software engineering lab, the students got a week off to do research on software failures that harmed humans. For many of the students it was the first time they gave any thought to the concept of software causing actual physical harm. I'm glad we were able to expose them to this reality but also was a bit disheartened as they should have thought about it far before a fourth year course in their major.
