What do you suggest to teach in the Advanced Software Engineering Course for MSc students?
We have already given courses for Advanced requirements, design, quality, testing, and project management.
The most popular system constructs an use cases for multiple industries
I think it would be useful for students to have newer software paradigms such as microservice architecture or a newer one FaaS(Function as a service) in the course.
In a MSc course I would emphasise on software design principles (like Secure by Design, which already includes privacy or if not Privacy by Design and others), usability engineering and the implementation validation of all of them.
Based on your given courses, I suggest you the below topics:
- software reuse, software reengineeering, software repository, or software product line, etc.
we also have: software architecture , service oriented and micro service architecture , quaility asurance in AI technology
For MSc programme level, I will suggest you go into novel area in software engineering, software architecture and software recycling. Also, emphasis should be placed not just in the learning but in the implementation.
My suggestion is out of left field. I agree implementation is key. Do group projects in the top five applications, in banking, manufacture, agriculture, where teams of 4 or 5 students have to collaborate to produce a result. They would both develop and take on key roles like project manager, tester, technical architect, and business analyst.
As well, each group would have to evaluate the other groups' projects, based on a template designed by the instructor but adding several criteria they designed. Real-life is complicated, so a semester-long or year-long project will assess their ability to undertake sustained effort rather than doing some last-minute clever programming.
key success factor is collaboration with industry. i suggest to find partners with is the industry and mutual benefit from this program
About collaboration with de industry is really necesary. On ther other hand I think is very important add to class topic about Continue Integration (CI) and in general all topics around quality assurance.
I declare myself a neophyte in the matter but I can recommend this conference to give you an idea: https://conf.researchr.org/home/sle-2020?
I believe distributed systems are going to become increasingly common as IoT ramps up and edge computing becomes increasingly relevant. Spending a little time introducing the challenges from an architecture perspective will reinforce the tradeoffs that must addressed for good software design.
The world nowadays having become a connected world, and one of the most used protocols in this world connection is the IP protocol, according to my logic, for any learner or student of Software Engineering, we had to also associate a related part to socket programming. It makes sense for a software engineer to add this knowledge to their profile.
I suggest to learn them
- the basics on infrastructural ecosystem,
- requirements management (basics for qualification tests: What, How & Validation incl.: use-cases and user interactions)
- communication protocols + interaction features
- deployment of primary software (diversity of system platforms)and secondary software protocols (Safety, security, financials, etc.),
- advanced software engineering (design and deployment/infusing of software protocols, data extraction, data security, protocol securities, in-system measurement, diagnostics, AI=autonomous intelligence, digital twins, software tests; hardware simulating systems+quality control,
- software testing incl.:Nominal and Extreme Stress, recovery, stability, goal deviation, etc.)
let me suggest a few articles and papers that may cover the competencies
