Software Engineering Docenture: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:27, 21 January 2026

NOTE: Currently the Software Engineering Docenture program is only available to EducateONE volunteers. We plan to open this up to the public in the future after achieving DEAC accreditation.

The Software Engineering Docenture program is designed to have qualified developers learn at a postgraduate level scholarship of software engineering appropriate for a professorship, based on an expansion of Ernest L. Boyer's forms of scholarship. The total estimated time for completion is between 2 to 5 years, depending on the student's competency and time they can dedicate. Students are encouraged to optimize their completion time by using synergies between the 5 forms of scholarship so that they gain more effect for the effort.

Scholarship of Discovery

The scholarship of discovery is the traditional focus of professorship preparation on quantitative and/or qualitative research. In completing the program, all docenture students will complete research projects that demonstrate competence in both these forms of research at a level that can pass journal peer-review scrutiny.

Equivalent to 10 Semester Hours/15 Quarter Hours
Estimated Time: 2 months to 1 year

Scholarship of Design

The scholarship of design is the bedrock of the docenture program, in which students will conduct design science research and write up its results in their thesis.

Equivalent to 20 Semester Hours/30 Quarter Hours
Estimated Time: 4 months to 2 years

Scholarship of Application

The scholarship of application is the real-world demonstration of using the knowledge gained to benefit the world.

Equivalent to 10 Semester Hours/15 Quarter Hours
Estimated Time: 2 months to 1 year

Scholarship of Integration

The scholarship of integration is breaking down the silos of academia and ensuring that interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary work can be done by the docenture student.

Equivalent to 10 Semester Hours/15 Quarter Hours
Estimated Time: 2 months to 1 year

Scholarship of Teaching

The root of "docenture" and "doctorate" come from the Latin "docēre" meaning "to teach"; thus, we ensure that the scholarship of teaching is part of our program.

Equivalent to 10 Semester Hours/15 Quarter Hours
Estimated Time: 6 months to 1 year
