Playing, Constructionism, and Music in Early-Stage Software Engineering Education

Software for Music Education

Learning to play musical instruments can require a large investment of both time and money for individuals since instruments can be expensive to buy and tend to have relatively steep learning curves. This paper describes one student's senior honors project: a software application called OffKey which aims to improve accessibility and education in music by allowing individuals to use a computer k...

Professional software Engineering Education

This paper is a speculation about how universities might organize new lines of business in software engineering professional education. Professional education enables practicing professionals to achieve defined levels of competence and to be certified according to standards in their professions. This kind of education is offered at very few universities. This paper proposes a conceptual framewo...

Putting the Engineering into Software Engineering Education

I recently read a paper about software engineering research,1 and once again discovered that its author, Lionel Brand, had published “my” ideas before I wrote them. Thankfully, his writing often stimulates further thinking, and this was no exception. His visionary thoughts on software engineering research started me thinking, but in terms of software engineering education rather than research. ...
