Scope
Software Engineering (SE) is an important discipline and core part of almost all Computer Science curricula of universities.

Challenges in today’s software development include increasing system complexity, short development cycles, shorter time to market, continuous change, and expected high quality of the software.

Software engineering education has to deal with these challenges. How can students or
employees be prepared to master these challenges?

What are best practices to help them to work in different domains, ranging from app development for mobile devices to the development of really big applications for mainframe systems, from game development to working on highly secure systems?

How can we support students in their student life-cycle and how can we prepare them for lifelong learning?

How can we ensure that future software engineers meet industrial needs, with respect to
technical as well as soft skills?
