CPATH-CB: The Software Communication Chautauqua

提案编号：0722231标题：CPATH CB：软件交流ChautauquaPI：Charles Wallace口头和书面交流技能对于有效的软件开发至关重要。软件工程师与各种各样的利益相关者互动：客户，最终用户，管理层和同事，以及其他群体。由于利益相关者的不同和相互竞争的目标，缺乏共同的词汇，以及软件开发人员倾向于喜欢计算机的舒适精确性而不是人类对话的模糊性和模糊性，沟通变得复杂。教育工作者如何为学生准备他们将在职业生涯中面临的重大沟通挑战？ 为了对这个问题做出适当的回应，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提供新的教学材料和课程，这些材料和课程由沟通艺术提供信息，并以工业经验的现实为基础。这些不同团体的肖托夸会议将有助于开始这种对话。 肖托夸夸传统的自由和包容性将使多个利益攸关方的不同声音能够进行富有成效的互动。 肖托夸夸的目标是促进新的联盟和项目，重点是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.
