An introductory course for software engineers
7th International CONCEIVE DESIGN IMPLEMENT OPERATE Conference
2011
2011
We present an introductory course for software engineers focused on the
learning objectives:
• practise conceiving, designing, implementing and operating in a team
based environment,
• understand the concepts of CDIO and how it is incorporated in their
study program,
• learn the basics in oral and written communication and working within a
team,
• reflect on the ethical issues of being a software engineer,
• understand their future profession and start the process of being able
to set goals for their future career.
The course has been given twice and we have noticed a larger acceptance amongst
the students for including the practise of generic skills in other courses.
