Análise das competências técnicas de engenharia de software entre o meio acadêmico e a indústria de software

Abstract

Developing software is a complex task that increasingly requires professionals to improve their knowledge with new techniques and tools. Software Engineering emerged to provide professionals with the necessary knowledge to develop complex systems on time and with quality. However, there is a deficiency in the knowledge learned in Software Engineering courses at universities. This work aims to investigate what are the necessary skills for a Software,Engineer to work in the industry, relate them to the disciplines of the course and find out if there is a misalignment of the knowledge that is provided to what is demanded. A data collection process was carried out with the research participants to analyze and extract information about the knowledge learned at the university, and to know if they are aligned with the requirements of the companies in which they work. The main disciplines that are most aligned with the industry’s reality were identified, as well as those that are least aligned, serving as a basis for further in-depth future studies on the possible reasons for the lack of agreement of some disciplines with the industry. With these data, it could be concluded that there are both disciplines aligned and misaligned with the reality of the industry.
