Such companies have started to concentrate their engineers' efforts on the early software development phase. Within this context, it is important to educate senior engineers to master all aspects of requirements engineering (RE). Though it is not easy to master the various aspects of RE all at once, we can expect engineers to study methods on their own if they believe that learning these methods is important for them or for their projects. We have developed a two-anda- half-day role-playing workshop for engineers that focuses on teaching the importance of RE, the background, rationale, and purpose of the requirements, as well as the actual requirements. The target students of our course are senior engineers with over ten years experience in software development. We first give an overview of RE techniques, and then, introduce the instructional design of our course for senior engineers. We also present the results of an actual workshop, which showed that engineers could learn worldviews of clients' requirements and the importance of the “why” of requirements.","PeriodicalId":103937,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Workshop on Requirements Engineering Education and Training","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130723902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Role playing method has been introduced as an effective pedagogical approach that allows students to practise RE methods in a simulated project environment by playing different roles/stakeholders at RE phase. We employ role playing method with a wiki tool support in the RE course projects for the third-year bachelor students running in the academic year of 2009–2010. In this paper, we report our experiences gained in applying role playing method and the wiki tool according to the survey results from the students who participated this course. We believe that the lessons learned in our experiences will help other RE education and training practitioners to improve their RE course projects by using role playing method and appropriate RE tools.","PeriodicalId":103937,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Workshop on Requirements Engineering Education and Training","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130195417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All too often, the students' discovering gotchas in a programming assignment embarrasses the instructor into revising the assignment. This paper argues that students' discovery of gotchas should be encouraged to promote experiential learning of the value and necessity of requirements engineering. Rather than viewing the discovery experience as a misfortune, an instructor should welcome the experience and even plan assignments with an abundance of gotchas to be discovered by students.","PeriodicalId":103937,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th International Workshop on Requirements Engineering Education and Training","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126912378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report our observations and conclude that designing effective requirements experiments for an industrial environment, sensitive to industrial constraints, is a very difficult problem.
