Abstract
Model-driven engineering is becoming increasingly popular in software development projects as it raises level of abstraction, thus improving our ability to handle complex systems. In many academic and industrial centers, software modeling has already been introduced into their curricula. Despite this, it seems that education does not yet support the modeling paradigm well enough thus limiting its acceptance as a mature method of developing software systems. The goal of this symposium was to find ways to change this situation. Specifically, the symposium sought ways of showing benefits of modeling in a way that is pedagogically effective and attractive to the students. It also tried to make recommendations for placing the modeling courses in the overall software development educational path, which should include not only UML fundamentals but also a demonstration of the importance and place of modeling in the overall path from business (environment) to software products.
