I propose, thatlike our
geographer,CMMI
(in education)can provide amap for future
exploration

Slide 10
CMMI inEducationSupportsEducators
• Provides broad, tailorableengineering framework– No specific methodology– Applicable to many engineering
domains– A Knowledge Infrastructure (per
Steve Cross)
• Provides real-world insight intotechnical managementactivities in context
• Informative material providesexamples and work products
• Generic practices are atechnical manager’s checklist

Slide 11
CMMI inEducationSupportsIndustry
• Provides process-awaregraduates
• Provides real-world insight intotechnical managementactivities in context
• Supports adoption throughfamiliarity
• Encourages research inintegrated processes and PI
• Ideas introduced in class areoften influential at work (ifallowed) and so supporttransition

Slide 12
Some Barriers
• Industry needs to enableprocess-competent grads
• Academia must educate, notindoctrinate
• Academia is much slower tochange than industry– Publish or perish (refereed
journals)– Tenured (ancient?) faculty
