An Experience Report on Workshop on Emerging Software Engineering Education

Abstract

The ?rst edition of the Workshop on Software Engineering Ed-ucation co-located with Innovations (formerly India) in SoftwareEngineering Conference (ISEC) was held on 9th February 2018 atIIIT Hyderabad (India). In this paper, we present an experiencereport on conducting this workshop. We describe the workshopformat and present the workshop program. The workshop wasactivity-oriented consisting of talks, discussions and engagementsfrom all the participants. We provide an overview of the four in-vited talks and present few highlights of these talks. We presentthe challenges encountered, recommendations and future plans.We describe the motivation behind the hands-on workshop activ-ities and their respective formats. We collect a variety of datafrom the participants on case-based learning, wall of ideas andan activity on the debate between computer science and softwareengineering as two separate disciplines. We analyse this data re-ceived collected through worksheets and survey forms. We presentour insights and conclusions from the data analysis. The numberof attendees, participation and engagement, talks, responses toworksheets, and questionnaires demonstrate that the workshopwas fruitful and successful in-terms of meeting its desired objec-tives.
