Call for Papers [Special Topic]

Experiences with Integrating Simulation into a Software Engineering Curriculum

The special topic calls for papers on Experiences with Integrating Simulation into a Software Engineering Curriculum and such papers will appear in Higher Education of Social Science as a special column. 1
Affiliated research area: Curriculum Independency, Software Engineering Education

Description
Software Engineering education must account for a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills software engineers will be required to apply throughout their professional life. Covering all the topics in depth within a university setting is infeasible due to curricular constraints as well as due to the inherent differences between educational institutions and the actual workplaces of individual graduates. This paper shows how a flexible simulation environment can link the various topic areas of software engineering in the same way they are interwoven in the daily work of practitioners. The authors report their experience gained in using such an environment in their courses at their different institutions, each one having a very distinct focus. Customization of the environment and respective didactical changes can address students with different maturity levels, educational aims, and backgrounds.

Requirements
In addition to the Review and Original Articles by invited speakers, we are inviting you to submit a relevant research paper on Experiences with Integrating Simulation into a Software Engineering Curriculum for consideration. Papers will be subject to normal peer review and must comply with the Guide for Authors.
