This article on teaching software reliability engineering (SRE) represents a consensus of views of experienced software reliability engineering leaders from diverse backgrounds but with ties to education: directors of software reliability and software reliability training in industry, a consultant who teaches SRE practice to industry, and university professors. The first topic covered is how to attract participants to SRE courses. We then analyze the job-related educational needs of current and future (those now university students) software practitioners, SRE practitioners, researchers, and nonsoftware professionals. Special needs relating to backgrounds, limited proficiency in the course language, and work conflicts are outlined. We discuss how the needs presented should influence course content and structure, teaching methods, and teaching materials. Finally, we cover our experiences with distance learning and its special needs. Some of this article applies to any course and is not SRE-specific. |
