Background: Software Engineering is a high-demand field constantly changing with new languages, tools, and frameworks. The use of software modeling in Software Engineering is essential for solving complex problems since it helps the developer understand abstraction and develop high-level code. For an overview of the current state of software modeling, this research attempts to present an overview of software modeling curricula and how students benefit from attending these courses. Method: First, to assess the survey’s clarity and eliminate any potential for bias, we conducted a pilot study with five teachers at M¨alardalen University. We surveyed 23 participants from 23 institutions and ten countries to get their responses to Research Questions 2, 3, and 4. We have collected data for programs from 10 different countries with their top 5 universities to address Research Question 1. Results: To maintain meaning in the Software Engineering domain, we used our findings to seek the usage of knowledge gained from the academic environment in the industry when the students shift from academia to industry. Through this thesis, we present the current view of software modeling curricula and their contribution to preparing students for the industry. The following significant findings were reached: (i) software modeling aids in better understanding of abstraction concepts and the development of high-level applications; (ii) UML is one of the most popular languages; and (iii) some limitations of software modeling tools include license type, outdated tools, or poorly documented tools.
