Experiences in Teaching and Learning Requirements Engineering on a Sound Didactical Basis. In: 22nd Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE 2017), ACM, S. 116-121.
Abstract—Requirements are of paramount importance for the quality of software systems. Yet, requirements engineering education at universities is surprisingly hard. University students encounter difficulties in understanding the role of requirements and apply-ing relevant methods to deal with requirements appropriately. One potential cause may be a lack of authenticity, i.e. settings that are too artificial to mirror the complexity of real-world situations adequately.
This paper presents an innovative and integrated didactical approach for teaching requirements engineering that was de-vised in a goal- and competence-oriented manner to avoid some of these shortcomings, in particular by including requirements elicitation with real customers into an integrated didactic step-by-step approach. Obviously, requirements engineering education is far more than assembling technical knowledge. Rather, it involves many non-technical skills that obtain a specific flavor in requirements engineering. Our didactic approach also addresses these skills, while resting on a sound pedagogical underpinning. The paper also summarizes indications for the suc-cess of this approach, in particular by participants’ self-evaluations.
