Yazılım Mühendisliğinin Etkin Öğrenimine ve Çok Disiplinli Takımlar İçinde İş-birliği Yeteneğinin Gelişimine Yönelik Genel Çerçeve

Enternasyonal Mühendislik Akreditasyon (IEA) organizasyonları, birçok üniversitede mühendislik eğitiminin ölçülüp kalitesinin onaylanmasına destek olurlar. Bu makalede, IEA kriterlerine göre etkin yazılım mühendisliği eğitimini hedef alan bir çerçeve önerilmektedir. Öğrencilerin yazılım süreçleri üzerine bilgilerini iyileştirmek ve çok disiplinli takımlarda iletişim becerilerini artırmak için, bilgisayar mühendisliği ile tasarım öğrencilerinin çok disiplinli proje kapsamında beraberce çalışması hedeflenmektedir. Bilgisayar mühendisliği öğrencileri çok disiplinli takımı kurarlar, yazılım mühendisliği süreçlerini takip ederler, toplantılara katılıp gerekli bilgi ve verilerin paylaşımını sağlarlar. Öğrencilerin performansı, IEA kriterlerine göre değerlendirilir. Sonuçlara göre, IEA kriterlerine göre yapılandırılan çok disiplinli proje ile, öğrencilerin yazılım süreçleri üzerine yetenekleri gelişmektedir. Takım içinde iş-birliğinin geliştirilmesi için bir takım metot ve prosedürlerin uygulanması gereklidir. Meslek eğitim seminerlerinin öğrencilerin iletişim beceresini iyileştirdiği ve böylece bu yönde metotların tasarlanıp test edilmesine gerek olduğu gözlemlenmiştir

A General Framework for Teaching Software Engineering and Improving Collaboration Skills in Multidisciplinary Teams

International Engineering Accreditation (IEA) organization measure and improve the quality of the engineering education in universities. This paper presents a framework for Software Engineering Education in line with the IEA criteria. A multidisciplinary project between computer engineers and designers is presented aiming to improve students’ understanding of software processes and increase their communication skills in multidisciplinary teams. Computer engineering students follow specific software engineering processes, attend meetings and communicate via web-based project management tools. Their evaluation is made according to the IEA outcomes. As the results show, a multidisciplinary project structured according to specific IEA outcomes ensures students’ skills in software processes and give them an overall satisfaction. The methods and procedures for developing collaboration skills in multidisciplinary projects are necessary. The creation of a profession-learning seminar improved student’s communication skills thus showing that additional methods towards this direction need to be further designed and tested.
