There is a growing demand for software engineering education (SEE) for professionals because of the increasing demand, active evolution of the technological landscape, and changes in the skills required by the practice. Integrating requirements engineering (RE) courses into SEE curricula for professionals systematically and effectively is challenging. In particular, curricula for professionals have different demands, are more dynamic, and modular in nature. In this study, we report on our experience in the development of three SEE curricula for professionals and the integration of RE courses into such curricula. We suggest basic principles for such integration and describe the systematic approach focused on course content mapping that we have developed.
