This is a re-posting from the SEI local bulletin board.
Posted by Dr. James Tomayko, Wichita State University
I am pleased to announce that the infinitely wise Kansas
Board of Regents (may they be reappointed by the governor)
has officially approved the Software Engineering graduate
program at Wichita State. This means that the 80 or so
students that we have already enrolled will be able to avoid
that dreaded title of 'computer scientist,' and also that
they no longer can accuse me of misrepresentation (we sort
of had to run things as a guerilla operation while our
learned colleagues at Kansas U. and Kansas State tried to
figure out what the hell we were up to and whether to be
afraid of it).
Since, to my knowledge, this is the first program to go from
conception to fruition solely based on the assistance of the
SEI, the SEI has something to be proud of, as well.
Pittsburgh may still be waiting for the first of the
projected spinoff companies from the SEI, but the country at
large is about to blossom with many instantiations of what
we built together at Wichita State.
