WESEE' 18-19

The second edition of the Workshop on Software Engineering Education (WESEE 2019) co-located with 12th Innovations in Software Engineering Conference (ISEC 2019) was held on 14th February 2019 at CoEP Pune (India).

The workshop had one expert talk of 45 minutes followed by a hands-on activity. The expert talk was on the “Dojo Delivery Model and Coaching” by Ranjith Tharayil from Accenture, India.
