Keynote 1: The Joy of Programming and How to Overcome It Through Education
Summary: Anecdotal data indicates that teaching of model-based software engineering methods and technologies is not particularly welcomed by a large proportion of university-level students involved in software engineering majors. In this talk, we first examine some possible reasons for this reticence, based on the personal experiences of the speaker. On the basis of that analysis, we derive a hierarchical “maturity model” of software engineering practice, which categorizes different viewpoints and different approaches to software design and development. Finally, we discuss how software engineering curricula could be advanced to help practitioners overcome some of the hurdles that stand in the way of reaching higher maturity levels.
