The Requirements Engineering Conference is just around the corner.
Its being held in Sydney Australia September 27th- October 1st 2010.
If you are attending this conference don’t miss out on the Requirements Engineering Education and Training Workshop that is taking place September 28th.
Do you want to broaden your skills? Learn new techniques? This is the workshop for you.
This workshop will address issues related to Requirements Engineering 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.
