The OU was well represented with two publications from the Computing\u00a0and Communications department outlining recent innovations in our Software Engineering (SE) offering both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels:<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Michel Wermelinger, Jon Hall, Lucia Rapanotti, Leonor Barroca, Magnus Ramage, and Arosha Bandara.

Mobasser\u2019s work on \u201cSystem Thinking: Educating T-Shaped Software Engineers,\u201d which very much echoed our ethos of educating software engineers to be both technically competent and \u201cprepared to participate in the increasing numbers of projects involving multi-discipline system thinking, and in strong need of software skills.\u201d\u00a0In fact, there was a distinctive systems flavour across the whole of ICSE, which, I must admit, was a lot less \u201cnerdy\u201d than I remembered from previous editions.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another highlight was the panel discussion on Industry\/University Collaboration in Software Engineering Education led by Nancy R. Mead (CMU), with much comparing of notes and reflecting on our strategies.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, for those among us with an interest in coding skills, Judith Bishop (Microsoft Research) presented Code Hunt (<\/span><a style=\"color: purple;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.codehunt.com\/\">https:\/\/www.codehunt.com<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">), a gaming platform which \u201cenables players to program against the computer with clues provided as unit tests\u201d and how it has been used to run coding context at scale, something the OU may well have an interest in.<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Overall, it was great to see SE education on an equal footing with SE research and practice at ICSE this year and to be able to mingle with people who were equally passionated about both. I can also see so much more of our work being represented at this premier SE conference in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In sunny Florence last May, ICSE 2015 saw the birth of JSEET 2015 (http:\/\/2015.icse-conferences.org\/call-dates\/call-for-contributions\/jseet), a new Joint Program merging the ICSE Software Engineering Education and Training Track (SEET) and the Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&amp;T) communities.
