Abstract
This paper discusses the future of Software Engineering education in Australia in the 1990s from the perspective of the current debate on the separation of Computer Science and Software Engineering as academic disciplines. It supports the prevailing view that maintaining the unity of Computer Science and Software Engineering is of critical importance.
