Call for papers for REET’10 in Sydney: Workshop on Requirements Engineering Education and Training: REET’10
Following the success of the four previous workshops on Requirements Engineering Education and Training (REET 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009), this workshop will address issues related to RE education, both as part of a formal university degree and as ongoing skills training within the workplace. The workshop is intended to go much deeper than a surface discussion of curriculum issues and will examine specific ideas and techniques for teaching and assessing skills needed by an effective requirements engineer.
