一句话:通过调查67门软件工程课程,比较高校教学方法与工业实践,发现二者总体接近但课程选择常受教学成功驱动。
软件工程教育者面临快速演变的概念、技术和行业需求。由于软件在数字化社会中无处不在,高校必须培养学生学会学习,并掌握扎实基础知识及现代软件与系统开发的最新知识。本文分析软件工程教育现状,旨在比较当代教育与工业实践,理解高校所教授的框架、方法和实践是否反映工业实践。作者通过在线问卷调查收集了67门软件工程课程的信息。结果表明,高校教授的开发方法与工业实践相当接近;同时发现,选择教授何种过程有时源于使课程成功的愿望。尤其对项目课程而言,若能与其他课程构建学习序列,可能更有益。
Software engineering educators are continually challenged by rapidly evolving concepts, technologies, and industry demands. Due to the omnipresence of software in a digitalized society, higher education institutions (HEIs) have to educate the students such that they learn how to learn, and that they are equipped with a profound basic knowledge and with latest knowledge about modern software and system development. Since industry demands change constantly, HEIs are challenged in meeting such current and future demands in a timely manner. This paper analyzes the current state of practice in software engineering education. Specifically, we want to compare contemporary education with industrial practice to understand if frameworks, methods and practices for software and system development taught at HEIs reflect industrial practice. For this, we conducted an online survey and collected information about 67 software engineering courses. Our findings show that development approaches taught at HEIs quite closely reflect industrial practice. We also found that the choice of what process to teach is sometimes driven by the wish to make a course successful. Especially when this happens for project courses, it could be beneficial to put more emphasis on building learning sequences with other courses.
