2nd Workshop on Emerging Software Engineering Education
WESEE 2019
Co-located with the 12th Innovations in Software Engineering Conference (ISEC 2019)
14 February 2019, Pune, India | COEP Pune
Theme: Software engineering teaching-learning in academia and industry
WESEE is unique being discussion-oriented with no paper presentations or keynotes, and will primarily be intended to get useful insights by provoking discussions on various topics related to software engineering education.
We welcome practitioners and researchers both from industry and academia to attend the workshop. The talks followed by discussions helps to identify and understand gaps in the Software Engineering curriculum and teaching pedagogy.
Software engineering is quickly moving from its purest form, i.e. computer- or mobile-based standalone and web-based applications, to a number of freshly blossoming domain-specific and hardware-collaborated forms for supporting the modern technological buzz areas like embedded systems, robotics and Internet of Things (IoT). This demands for new innovative teaching and learning methods at tertiary education- and industry-levels to help produce the highly skilled workforce required to handle these challenging forms of modern software engineering. Following the last year pattern of the WESEE 2018 -- discussion-oriented workshop -- as part of the ISEC 2018, the second edition of Workshop on Emerging Software Engineering Education (WESEE) will offer a unique discussion-oriented environment with a focus on providing the educators, researchers, industry practitioners and coaches with a platform to share and discuss their experiences related to dealing with the current state and planning for the future state of software engineering education globally. Buoyed by and learning from the outcomes of the last WESEE edition, the 2019 workshop edition will be more focused on addressing the needs of both worlds, i.e. coaching in industry and teaching in higher education settings.
Overall, this workshop aims to invoke discussions and futuristic aspirations through invited talks, activity-based sessions and rigorous discussions on unleashing various creative methods of teaching and evaluation along with innovative course curricula and learning environments, being employed at higher educational levels in academia and industry to teach software engineering and closely related courses. In particular, modern software engineering models, like agile methods, will be at the forefront of discussions and activities. Another major focus of the workshop will be on bridging the software engineering knowledge and skill gap between academia and industry.
Aiming for a discussion-oriented event, WESEE does not intend to have any research paper presentations or keynotes, and will primarily be intended to get useful insights by provoking discussions on various topics related to Software Engineering Education.
WESEE aims to bring together software engineering educators from: academia - who understand how the education scenarios and research are changing the mechanisms of teaching software engineering related courses, and industry - who understand how software engineers are trained or how software development is "coached" in industry.
Practitioners and researchers both from industry and academia can attend the workshop. We welcome all academicians (who teach software engineering/development related courses and conduct research in software education), software development coaches and trainers from industries.
