General Software Education 2022 (GSE’22) Welcome from the Minitrack Co-Chairs Bastian Tenbergen Department of Computer Science State University of New York at Oswego bastian.tenbergen@oswego.edu Marian Daun paluno – The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany marian.daun@paluno.uni-due.de 1. Description of a Minitrack Educating future software engineers that are capable of developing the systems of the future is an ever- demanding task. Coming generations of software engineers will likely need to deal with even more complex, distributed systems, shorter times-to-market, and likely need to build with more complicated quality requirements, build processes, and deployment configurations. Instructing aspiring software engineers therefore becomes a task of not only teaching established software engineering theory, methods, and tools, but also new and emerging topics, system types, development processes, and the like. This brings new challenges that can only be tackled by understanding software engineering education within a global context of software construction. This means that software engineering education can no longer exist in a silo of processes, models, and theory, but must acknowledge and actively incorporate instructional paradigms from related disciplines. These may entail hardware-centric systems engineering, programming, distributed development, creating adaptive service- oriented systems, or security- and safety-critical autonomous systems. Therefore, computer science curricula, industry consultants, and educators at large have begun focusing on teaching software engineering in the context of global software education. However, there remain open and recurring questions regarding which methods and instructional approaches are best suited to instruct software engineering in the context of global software education. Furthermore, evidence to the efficacy of methods and their impact on learning outcomes is required. To begin answering these questions, this “General Software Education” minitrack at the “Software Engineering Education & Training” Special Track was held in conjunction at the 55 th Hawaii International Conference on System Science in January 2022. The Minitrack explores challenges, experiences, approaches, ideas, and new impulses in global software education. In a highly interactive atmosphere, where issues and ideas can be discussed, positioned, and addressed, we sought thought-provoking and highly constructive discussions among a broad audience and presenters to jointly identify promising educational approaches. We want to try out proposed approaches, foster empirical studies, and facilitate collaboration between industry and academia in teaching conceptual modeling. This Minitrack accepted contributions focused on, but not limited to the following topics: • Teaching approaches for global software education • Experience reports, especially challenges, difficulties, pitfalls, and negative experiences with learning success, project/assignment outcome, or the application of teaching approaches • Assignment/Project ideas, experiences, and instructional support for student work • Methods of instruction, e.g., flipped classroom, problem-based learning • Case studies and case examples from industry and academia • Proposals for and/or results of empirical studies on conceptual modeling • Methods and strategies of feedback and grading of student work • Curricula and course structures 2. Program Committee and Review Process Each paper submitted to the General Software Education Minitrack underwent a thorough review, by at least three experts in the field. To ensure comparable high-quality reviews each paper was reviewed by experts from all areas of computer science and systems engineering, as well as experts in the field of software Proceedings of the 55th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences | 2022 Page 960 URI: https://hdl.handle.net/10125/79449 978-0-9981331-5-7 (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)
