Heya David,
Thanks for the info. Yeah, this is some great stuff, makes me think that there’s so many authors we haven’t yet heard of and of which we can learn from.

Kelly,
I think the best person to help you out with the courses in your program would be the dean or director of your department. As for each knowledge areas of the SWEBOK, I’ll invite you to actually download the PDF file of it from http://www.swebok.org and read the first few paragraphs of each of them.

I’ll give you a tip that will help you more in your career and will, no doubt, make you a better developer too: it’s important to know how to search something, whether a topic or some information, by yourself and if at the end you really didn’t find an answer to your question, you should feel comfortable in asking someone else. For instance, there’s no doubt you could’ve answered the first question by yourself. University is all about autonomy and knowing how to do proper research. The same goes for the second question. Learn how to properly use Google (they might not teach you that in school). For instance, searching on Google for “swebok”, I found a Wikipedia link on the SWEBOK which answers your second question.

Good luck with your studies!
– Brian
