Do we teach the right thing?: a comparison of global software engineering education and practice

摘要: Global Software Engineering (GSE) is a reality for even the smallest companies, so software engineering students need to learn how work in globally distributed development context. Many approaches teaching GSE have been described literature. Since majority of done by engineers working small or medium sized enterprises (SMEs) we now ask: Are today's being trained effectively companies?We surveyed three SMEs identify which 70 Teaming Model (GTM) practices were problematic and important this sample. We then mapped recommendations educators those pinpointed GTM practices. Finally, analysed level these needed addressed GSE-Education (GSE-Ed) literature, who performed Nine found relevant all SMEs. Seven GSE-Ed recommendations, two seen be lacking. A rich set 63 unique support seven practices, but our analysis unearthed surprising complexity roles responsibilities undertaken instructor courses. As result student client involvement coordination collaboration activities tended weakened non-existent. In order ensure graduates are prepared reality, practitioners take on more active role education process. Also, given responsibility they can broader professional management skills required when developing multi-site SME teams.
