Workshops

SWEBOK : Adjustments for Education
Thursday, 20th March - 11:00
Robert Dupuis (Moderator) - University of Quebec-Montreal
Pierre Bourque - ETS Montreal

The workshop will present a survey of the current uses of the trial version of the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) guide in education. From this survey and from the discussions in other workshops, the participants will be asked to work on the appropriate ways to gather more information from the users, and on how to modify the guide in order for it to play its role in education more appropriately. This will include its relationship with SEEK (Software Engineering Education Knowledge) and the list of topics used as a basis for the curriculum.

IEEE-CS/ACM Computing Curriculum Software Engineering Volume Project
Thursday, 20th March - 14:00
Susan Mengel (Moderator) - Texas Tech University
Rich LeBlanc - Georgia Institute of Technology
Ann Sobel - Miami University
Mordechai Ben-Menachem - Ben-Gurion University
Timothy C. Lethbridge - University of Ottawa
Jorge L. Díaz-Herrera - Rochester Institute of Technology
Thomas B. Hilburn - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Barrie Thompson - University of Sunderland
In this workshop the CCSE Steering Committee members will report on the Volume's progress and the process by which the Volume is being created, and solicit feedback from the session's audience on the Volume's effectiveness.
Preparing for the 2004 IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition (CSIDC)
Thursday, 20th March - 16:00
Susan K. Land (Moderator) - Northrop Grumman Information Technology
Alan D. Clements - University of Teesside

This workshop aims to promote the annual Computer Society International Design Competition (CSIDC) among academics by providing information on what is required for each team, competition deadlines, how best to prepare, and practical guidance for each phase of the competition. A review of the top five winning teams from the 2002 competition will also be presented, with the characteristics that helped make each of these teams successful.

Tailoring a Successful Project-Based Course - in Which Students Learn to Work in Teams on the Development of Useful Software Products for Real Clients - to the Needs and Resource Constraints of Individual Colleges and Universities
Friday, 21st March - 11:00
Barry Boehm (Moderator) - USC
Dan Port - USC
David Klappholz - Stevens Institute of Technology
The purpose of this workshop is to present an in-depth overview of USC CS577, and to start the processes of:
- eliciting from faculty at a variety of colleges and universities the different needs and resource constraints to which they would be subject were they to port CS577 to their home institutions
- planning the types of adjustments that can be made to CS577 to meet various sets of constraints

Software Engineering Course Materials Workshop
Saturday, 22nd March - 14:00
Gregory W. Hislop (Moderator) - Drexel University
Thomas B. Hilburn - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Michael J. Lutz - Rochester Institute of Technology
Susan A. Mengel - Texas Tech University
Mark J. Sebern - Milwaukee School of Engineering

This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to discuss and critique software engineering course materials being developed as part of the SWENET project. SWENET is an NSF project designed to create a Web-based community of software engineering education. A key activity in the project is to create, collect, and share software engineering course materials within the context of current accreditation guidelines and curricular models.
