Abstract
In their comprehensive review of computing disciplines, the Joint (ACM and IEEE-CS) Task Force on Computing Curricula identified a group of subjects as Net-centric, to be taught at under-graduate level. Web Engineering was still in its infancy at the time. We started a Web Engineering specialization at master’s level in 1999 and have recently reviewed it comprehensively. Based on our experience in teaching different aspects of Web development at both under-graduate and graduate levels, this paper proposes a framework to design curricula for Web Engineering that can evolve in tandem with the evolution of the Web. The framework helps to dovetail the knowledge areas in a coherent manner avoiding a smorgasbord approach to curriculum design.
