Web applications and Web-based systems are becoming increasingly
complex as a result of either customer requests or technology
evolution which has eased other aspects of software engineering. Therefore,
there is an increasing demand for highly skilled software engineers
able to build and also advance the systems on the one hand as well as professionals
who are able to evaluate their eectiveness on the other hand.
With this idea in mind, the computer science department at Aalborg
University is continuously working on improvements in its specialization
in web engineering topics as well as on general competence based web
engineering proles oered also for those who specialize in other areas
of software engineering. We describe the current state of the art and
our experience with a web engineering curriculum within the software
engineering masters degree programme. We also discuss an evolution of
topics and problems students are working on while learning web engineering
skills.
