In the international software engineering research community, the premier conference (ICSE) features since a decade a special track on the role of SE In Society (or SEIS track). In this work, we want to use the articles published in this…
This work takes a pedagogical lens to explore the implications of generative AI (GenAI) models and tools, such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, in a semester-long 2nd-year undergraduate Software Engineering Team Project. Qualitative findings…
We use an autoethnographic case study of a Latinx high school student from an agricultural community in California to highlight how AI is learned outside classrooms and how her personal background influenced her social-justice oriented…
In recent years, the field of software engineering has experienced a considerable increase in demand for competent experts, resulting in an increased demand for platforms that connect software engineers and facilitate collaboration. In…
Since transition to higher education emerged as a research topic in the early 1970s, scholarly inquiry has focused on students without impairments and, what is more, little attention has been paid to the role of digital technologies. This…
Although female students engage in coding courses, only a small percentage of them plan to pursue computer science (CS) as a major when choosing a career path. Gender differences in interests, sense-of belonging, self-efficacy, and…
We are witnessing a rapid increase in real-world autonomous robotic deployments in environments ranging from indoor homes and commercial establishments to large-scale urban areas, with applications ranging from domestic assistance to urban…
Development of Curriculum and delivery materials has undergone changes over a period of time, in undergraduate engineering degree system in Indian universities. However, there exists a gap between industry expectations in IT field and…
Work must be reshaped in the upcoming new era characterized by new challenges and the presence of new technologies and computational tools. Over-automation seems to be the driver of the digitalization process. Substitution is the paradigm…
