FASE

Serving the Software Engineering Education, Research, Professional, Training, and Volunteer Communities Since 1991


Table of Contents


Introduction

FASE (pronounced like "phase"), the Forum for Advancing Software engineering Education, was started in 1991 by members of the software engineering education community in order to have an electronic forum for the dissemination and discussion of events related to software engineering education. The original acronym for FASE was Forum for Academic Software Engineering, but was subsequently changed so that it was more inclusive of industrial and government training issues (which led to a co-editor in that area). In recent years, FASE has also covered a wide variety of professional issues (e.g. licensing, certification, ethics, body of knowledge, and accreditation), which has also led to the addition of yet another co-editor for this area.

In 2003, FASE is now encompassing all aspects of software engineering.  Now FASE is the Forum for Advancing Software Engineering.
