EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL SKILLS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING COURSE PROJECTS

Abstract

Today, software engineering is one of the toughest challenges in the software industry and software engineering demand is increasing. However, software engineering industry indicates that, software engineering graduates does not meet the needs of. When new graduates start to job, industry spends time for their education. This waste of time and the low success rate of software projects in industry, causes a very serious cost. In this study, the questionnaire was performed on the projects to students of Systems Analysis and Design, Software Engineering and Agile Software Development courses at two different university. This questionnaire consists of questions designed to measure students' technical and soft skills. In this paper, Technical skills evaluated for Systems Analysis and Design, Software Engineering and Agile Software Development courses and these results compared with soscial skills results. Aim of this study is to determine the capabilities of students to be insufficient skills in software development courses project for improve the quality of software engineering graduates. Thus, more experienced student trained and higher-quality projects will be developed.
