We are soliciting Research Papers, Experience Reports, and Position Papers for the International Workshop on Software Engineering Curricula for Millennials (SECM 2017), to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in conjunction with the 39th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2017).
Educating the new breed of software engineering is tough. Millennials have been dominating the higher education programs for some time. This cohort has unique needs, learning styles, and skills. They are diverse, collaborative, creative, tech-savvy, and keenly interested in emerging technologies. They drive the growth of the software industry, which itself is in a constant state of flux, with new technologies, techniques, paradigms, and application domains popping up with increasing frequency. Companies quickly adjust to this shifting landscape while trying to cater to the needs of their new hires. What about educators? How should software engineering curricula and educators’ teaching styles adapt to these changes? Perspectives of students, educators, and prospective employees should be heard. Our goal in this workshop is bring together the main stakeholders through a highly interactive format to discuss the demands and challenges of training future software engineers in higher education and professional settings.
