This chapter presents the journey taken by one of the top online software engineering programs in the nation as experienced by the program chairperson, reflecting upon the evolution of distant education efforts from two-way satellite synchronous course delivery to 100% online course delivery as well as other blended modes of delivery and instruction. This discussion will include the advantages and disadvantages encountered organized within a student-centered, instructor-centered, course-product, and program-centered focus followed by lessons learned. The chapter provides a practical and revealing encapsulation of salient issues surrounding the operation of an online STEM graduate program of interest to readers seeking shared operational experiences from long-term significant elearning efforts.

Engineering programs in Australian Universities are accredited by Engineers Australia (EA) based on certain strict guidelines. This paper discusses the undergraduate SE curriculum and accreditation effort undertaken over the last ten years at Monash University in order to achieve a successful outcome. The paper describes how the SE curriculum has evolved over this period at Monash and maintained its product quality by benchmarking against various international efforts such as the CMU-SEI effort in early 1990s, ACM/IEEE efforts on Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK, versions 2001-2004) and the curriculum guidelines for each major area of computing in Computing Curricula (CC2001) such as a Software Engineering volume (SE2004). Currently at Monash, student-centric evaluations are used to determine the teach-ing/learning outcome and in-form the world through the web to support the University’s quality assurance and improvement strategies. We discuss our effort in providing an aligned, evidence-based approach to quality assurance for continued accreditation of MUSE.
