Welcome to SEENG 2022, the 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering Education for the Next Generation!

SEENG 2022 will probably be held remotely at the 44th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE).

The workshop will be an interactive event intended to the theme
Educating the Next Generation of Software Engineers

“Millennials and Generation Z have been dominating higher education programs for some time. In a decade, our classes will be hosting Generation Alpha. We have all noticed that these cohorts have unique needs and different learning styles, social behaviors, and skills. With their increasing mobility, our classes will become more and more diverse. Our students will become increasingly collaborative, socially aware, tech-savvy, multi-disciplinary, and interested in emerging technologies. How shall the software industry capitalize on the mix of qualities that the new breed of software engineers will possess? How shall software engineering educators effectively and equitably cater to the students’, society’s, and industry’s evolving and diverse interests while ensuring that the next generation of software engineers learn the timeless principles, have a firm grounding in both software engineering theory and practice, behave responsibly, and make a positive contribution to the society?” Perspectives of software engineering educators, but also students, recent graduates, employers, and representatives of STEM education from government and non-government organizations, should be heard to answer these questions and identify solutions.

Following the SECM 2017, SEEM 2018, and SEENG 2021, our goal in this 4th edition is to continue to bring together main stakeholders to discuss the unique needs and challenges of software engineering education for the next generation. Building on its predecessor, the workshop will use a highly interactive format, structured around short presentations to generate discussion topics, an activity to select the most interesting topics, and structured breakout sessions to allow participants to address those topics.
