CURRICULUM PROPOSAL FOR A DEGREE IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AT THE FUNDACION UNIVERSITARIA INPAHU

This paper presents the results of the research study titled "Restructuring the curriculum for a software engineering degree at Inpahu University" (2011), which presented an education plan based on development of logical, creative and operational skills in tandem with intellectual, technical and technological abilities. Accordingly, it was proposed that this plan incorporate the three-brain model of De Gregori [1] which posits a triadic brain structure. If learning is the process of adapting to a constantly changing environment and learning styles are, among other things, the typical way for students to adapt to and live in their environment, the way they use their brain functions will define their style of thinking and learning. The research seeks to help software engineering students develop their brain potential in moving towards a solid and holistic education that will facilitate a successful transition into working life.
