Special Track on Competences for Software Engineering and their Role in Software Engineering Education @ ILRN 2019

ST7. Competences for Software Engineering and their Role in Software Engineering Education
Overview
Software engineering (SE) requires not just technical knowledge, but also a variety of (non-technical) competences and skills. Some work has been devoted to characterize the technical content of software engineering, such as the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) or Software Engineering Method and Theory (SEMAT). Other approaches follow a task-oriented approach, e.g., certification schemes in various shapes. Yet, it is not well understood so far which (non-technical) competences are relevant for software engineering and how they can be addressed properly in software engineering education, in particular using immersive learning. This special track seeks contributions that deal with competencies in software engineering. Contributions from other disciplines, e.g., pedagogy, psychology, or other social sciences are particularly welcome.
List of Topics
Suggested topics include—but are not limited to:
Identification and characterization of competences for SE (research methods, competence profiles, documentation formats,…)
Importance of (non-technical) competences in SE
Effects of digitalization on relevant competences in SE
Differentiation of competences with respect to specific roles / phases in SE
Assessment of competences in SE
Systematic concepts for the formation or training of competences in SE, including competence-oriented learning settings in university or adult education
Suitability of immersive learning for relevant competences in SE
Life-long learning and its significance in SE
Relationship and interplay of technical knowledge and competences in SE
Multidisciplinarity in SE
