Abstract

Devising a course for software professionals working in industry depends on several factors. In order to create a course that fulfils professionals´ expectations, it is important to take account of the skills of the participants, the time available, and the specific topics to be covered. This paper presents the curriculum of a course in requirements engineering and management intended for software developers with a first-level academic degree in computing and experience in developing real software solutions. This context requires the course to concentrate on topics that were not taught in the participants´ previous education and that can have a positive impact on their daily practices.
