CSEE&T 2017 Call for Submissions
The 2017 IEEE Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T) takes place in Savannah, Georgia, November 7-9, 2017. Since the first CSEE&T, software engineering education has changed a great deal. In 1986, software engineering education was largely done by industry, with just a few academic programs in place. Since then, software engineering degree programs have emerged at all levels, with increased attention to specialty areas. Software engineering professionalism initiatives resulted in the certification and licensing of software engineers in many countries.
Our plans for the conference include the Academy on Software Engineering Education and Training (ASEET) on November 7. ASEET speakers will be Len Bass on DevOps and Grace Lewis on Architecture. Keynote talks will be given by Dick Fairley and Mark Paulk, and additional publication opportunities exist for selected papers in a special issue of the Journal of Systems and Software (JSS).
Topics of Interest
Quality submissions covering curriculum development, empirical studies, personal or institutional experience, and conceptual or theoretical work are particularly invited. The following list contains topics of interest for CSEE&T 2017. Submissions on other topics, as noted below, are also welcome.
