This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is developing a Science Masters Program (SMP) in Systems and Software Engineering to meet the regional workforce needs for employees who can build advanced, complex, robust, and reliable computer software systems for government and industry. Software is a part of nearly every new product including systems designed for the transportation, consumer products, the military, homeland security, the government, and business and commercial sectors. Large software systems are some of the most complex products ever produced, and it is extremely difficult to ensure that software works appropriately in all situations. The graduates of this program will be trained in engineering management and in techniques to ensure software behaves correctly. This SMP is one of the first programs in the nation to use the internationally developed 2009 "Curriculum Guidelines for Graduate Degree Programs in Software Engineering." The support provided by NSF will help increase the number of software engineers in the region who are U.S. citizens. Building on UTEP's history of working with minority students, the program is emphasizing recruitment of Hispanics and women. The successful completion of the project will lead to a better-trained and more diverse software engineering workforce for government and industry.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）。得克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）正在开发一个科学硕士课程（SMP）在系统和软件工程，以满足员工谁可以建立先进的，复杂的，强大的，可靠的计算机软件系统，为政府和行业的区域劳动力需求。 软件是几乎所有新产品的一部分，包括为交通、消费品、军事、国土安全、政府以及商业和商业部门设计的系统。大型软件系统是有史以来最复杂的产品之一，要确保软件在所有情况下都能正常工作是非常困难的。 该计划的毕业生将接受工程管理和技术培训，以确保软件正确运行。 该SMP是全国首批使用国际开发的2009年“软件工程研究生学位课程大纲”的课程之一。“NSF提供的支持将有助于增加该地区美国公民的软件工程师数量。在UTEP与少数民族学生合作的历史基础上，该计划强调招募西班牙裔和女性。该项目的成功完成将为政府和行业带来一支训练有素、更加多样化的软件工程队伍。
