A Report on Software Engineering Education Workshop (SEEW) 2014 Co-Located with Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference 2014

Abstract

The Software Engineering Education Workshop (SEEW) 2014 was held on 1st December 2014 at Jeju (South Korea). The worksho was co-located with The 21st Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2014). The objective of SEEW is to create an annual discussion forum on Software Engineering (SE) Education in the Asia-Pacific region. The workshop was organized by experienced Software Engineering educators (working in Academia and Industry) from three different countries in the Asia-Pacific region: India, Japan, and Thailand. The total number of participants were 18 spread across 7 countries. The workshop consisted of 7 position paper presentations consisting of a wide range of topics and research questions. The paper presentation was followed by a group discussion which resulted in identifying important aspects and future research directions on Software Engineering Education. The workshop was a successful endeavor and the response in terms of the contributions by participants is a clear indicator and confirmation of the need of having a focused discussion forum for brainstorming on software engineering education in Asia-Pacific region.
