Avaliação do desenvolvimento de competências em Engenharia de Software: um estudo de caso em um projeto acadêmico de desenvolvimento de software

Abstract

This study investigated the development of software engineering competencies through the participation of 10 students in an academic Research and Development (R\D) project. Interviews and an analysis of the Pedagogical Project of the Software Engineering Course at the Federal University of Ceará were used. The results indicated that communication, teamwork, and creativity were the most developed skills, followed by competencies in requirements, design, and software management. Furthermore, prior work experience positively influenced competency development, while project time and participation in other projects did not have a significant influence. Therefore, it was possible to conclude that specific academic projects provide relevant formative environments, but gaps such as entrepreneurship and new software production models still require attention in training.
