An introductory course for software engineers

We present an introductory course for software engineers focused on the learning objectives: • practise conceiving, designing, implementing and operating in a team based environment, • understand the concepts of CDIO and how it is incorporated in their study program, • learn the basics in oral and written communication and working within a team, • reflect on the ethical issues of being a software engineer, • understand their future profession and start the process of being able to set goals for their future career. The course has been given twice and we have noticed a larger acceptance amongst the students for including the practise of generic skills in other courses.
