  3. 9 Universities and 4 Companies Are IT Spiral! Osaka U Kyoto U Hyogo U Ritsumeikan Kobe U NAIST Wakayama Osaka Inst Kochi U 高知県 Hitachi NTT Data Hitachi System and Service OGIS-RI

  4. Member Universities • 大阪大学: Osaka University • 大阪工業大学: Osaka Institute of Technology • 京都大学: Kyoto University • 高知工科大学: Kochi University of Technology • 神戸大学: Kobe University • 奈良先端科学技術大学院大学: NAIST • 兵庫県立大学: Hyogo University • 立命館大学: Ritsumeikan University • 和歌山大学: Wakayama University

  5. Member Companies • Hitachi • Hitachi System and Service • NTT Data • OGIS-RI: Osaka Gas Information System-Research Institute

  6. The Idea of IT Spiral • Purpose: to cultivate talented practitioners capable of world-class activity over the middle-term for software development • This requires a systematic education in software engineering • Not just: it is possible to do this and this is how to use this tool. Instead, why does this work well and are there other ways to do this? • Cultivating talent that is always thinking about ways to do things!

  7. Elements in Cultivating Such Talent • Involve top educators, researchers, and industry leaders • Focus on top-quality students • Develop curriculum suited to purpose

  8. Promotion of three areas • Advanced software engineering subjects • Practical software development subjects • Basic software engineering subjects

  9. Schedule • 2006 • Make Courseware (advanced software engineering subjects) • Start development of teaching materials • External Assessment Committee • 2007 • First Stage Lectures (all universities start basic and advanced software engineering subjects) • Begin practical software development subjects at Nakanoshima center • Put the project materials into use • External Assessment Committee • 2008 • Second Stage Lectures (basic, advanced, and practical) • Trial of practical software development subjects by teachers • Mid-project evaluation • External assessment committee • 2009 • Third stage lectures (basic, advanced, and practical) • Development of practical software development subjects in each graduate school • External assessment committee • Final meeting for announcing results

  10. SWEBOK Areas and Existing Expertise

  11. Some initial topics • Outline of agile concepts • Project and risk management with agile development • Process modeling and agile development • English writing and presentations in software engineering

  12. Summary • IT Spiral: How can we educate Japanese software engineering students effectively for the future? • Curriculum development, including lectures, tests, projects, assignments, and other materials • Designed for use by various universities and faculty
