CPATH-CB: The Software Communication Chautauqua

提案编号：0722231标题：CPATH CB：The Software Communication ChautauquaPI：Charles Wallace口语和书面沟通技能对于有效的软件开发至关重要。软件工程师与一组不同的利益相关者进行交互：客户、最终用户、管理人员和同事以及其他群体。由于利益相关者的目标不同且相互竞争，缺乏共同的词汇，以及软件开发人员倾向于更喜欢计算机令人欣慰的精确度，而不是人类对话的模棱两可和晦涩难懂，沟通变得复杂起来。教育工作者如何让学生做好准备，迎接他们在职业生涯中将面临的重大沟通挑战？为了充分回答这个问题，需要进一步的对话，在工业软件开发人员和技术交流和软件工程方面的教育工作者之间建立桥梁。这种交流将有助于为软件工程专业的学生产生新的教学材料和课程，了解沟通艺术，并立足于工业经验的现实。这些不同群体的Chautauqua会议将有助于开始这一对话。Chautauqua传统的自由形式和包容性将使多个利益攸关方的不同声音能够有效地互动。Chautauqua的目标是促进新的联盟和项目，专注于软件开发中的沟通问题。

Proposal Number: 0722231Title: CPATH CB: The Software Communication ChautauquaPI: Charles WallaceOral and written communication skills are crucial for effective software development. Software engineers interact with a diverse set of stakeholders: customers, end users, management, and coworkers, among other groups. Communication is complicated by the varying and competing goals of stakeholders, the lack of a common vocabulary, and the tendency of software developers to prefer the comforting precision of computers to the ambiguity and obscurity of human dialogue.How can educators prepare students for the substantial communication challenges they will face in their careers? To develop an adequate response to this question, further conversation is needed to build bridges between industrial software developers and educators in technical communication and software engineering. This interchange will help to generate new pedagogical materials and curricula for software engineering students, informed by the communicative arts and grounded in the reality of industrial experience.A Chautauqua meeting of these varied groups will help to start this conversation. The freeform and inclusive nature of the Chautauqua tradition will allow the diverse voices of multiple stakeholders to interact productively. The goal of the Chautauqua is to foster new alliances and projects focused on communication problems in software development.
