Abstract
The evolution of software engineering methodologies has significantly influenced the structure and content of modern computer science education. As industries demand agile, adaptable, and collaborative engineering practices, academic institutions have increasingly integrated methodologies such as Agile, Scrum, and DevOps into their curricula. This paper examines the trends and challenges encountered during this pedagogical transformation, particularly in the year 2020. Through a structured literature review and analysis of contemporary curricular practices, we assess the alignment between industry needs and academic offerings. Using secondary data and curricular review methodologies, we highlight both the progress and pitfalls encountered in transitioning to modern software engineering practices within educational settings. Key findings reveal a rising prevalence of Agile and DevOps frameworks in coursework, coupled with challenges such as outdated instructor expertise, limited resources, and resistance to curriculum reform. The study underscores the necessity of pedagogical agility and institutional investment in faculty development. The insights derived are vital for educators, curriculum designers, and policy-makers committed to bridging the gap between academia and real-world software engineering.
