摘要：

Software is produced by people, for use by people, most frequently in an organization. As a result, any software engineering project includes related technical objects, concepts, and processes, and human and organizational objects, concepts, and processes. The relations are many and varied, ranging from the most technical to the most specifically human, such as point of view and emotional reaction. Software engineering education must therefore be almost impossibly electic. This paper presents a unique approach to the software engineering curriculum, human systems analysis that has been in use at Northern Illinois University for six years. It is designed to enable students to analyze the entire super-system, including the producing community, the software system, and user community, and then use that analysis in all phases of a software project. The curriculum addresses an important area of software engineering in a unique way, is highly unusual in both form and content, and is based on a unique theoretical foundation, Descriptive Psychology.
