|related question: what should be taught to students in an MS in
|Software Engineering (MSSE) program?  Here's a few specific questions
|to get the ball rolling:
|
|2) What should the incoming/outgoing student know about the
|following areas:
|programming languages
|programming methodologies
|compiler technology
|mangement techniques
|software cost calculation
|technical writing
|program specification and verification
|3) What areas are missing from the above list?
                   ^^^^^^^

You left out Verification and Validation, Integration and Testing, and
Quality Assurance, then again we who practice Test Engineering are used
to being left out by both academia and management :-).
