WELL STRUCTURED AND UP TO DATE CURRICULUM IS A KEY FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERING STUDIES
The fast pace, with which the ICT industry is growing, shapes the development of software systems into an increasingly complex and challenging endeavor. An inevitable consequence is that often the institutions, providing education in software engineering, cannot keep up with the industry and end up teaching outdated practices and technologies. The problem goes that far that sometimes students, who enter the industry, are forced to unlearn working methods acquired in formal education.
Therefore, the SoftAware project aims to develop a curriculum for a bachelor’s degree in software technologies that incorporates industry best practice and state of the art technology to equip software engineering graduates with skills needed by the industry.
For this purpose, Technical University of Sofia (TU Sofia, BG) has developed a conceptual model of the curriculum. While all project partners had a task to contact stakeholders at their national level and perform a desk research to contribute to the definition of the most applicable curriculum framework and learning outcomes. Therefore, TU Sofia have organised a round table discussion with five experts and Lithuanian partners (Kaunas University of Technology and Kaunas Science and Technology Park) have organised a round table discussion and conducted and in-depth interview with seventeen experts.
