The authors present guidelines that should be followed when designing the curricula for educating engineers who will be capable of managing and evaluating quality in the software design and ...development process. It is pointed out that quality management is impossible without planning. Consequently, the preparation of planning, which is divided into technical, quality, and resource plans, is of primary importance. In addition to the preparation of plans, a quality system that supports the elaboration of plans should be worked out. However, a quality system cannot be established without knowledge of process models, design methodologies and planning techniques, which requires that one observe standards from the group ISO 9000 and structured approaches. The authors present their experience regarding the level of knowledge that is satisfactory for the computer engineering level and for other predominantly electrical engineering levels, how and where to integrate software quality topics into the curriculum, which courseware to use, and how to persuade students that high quality software is not only code-weighted but that also depends on all attributes that make a software of high quality.< >
