Reviewing the curriculum of computer science undergraduate courses to incorporate communication and interpersonal skills teaching

Abstract

The major problems of software development projects are not so much technical as sociological in nature. The industry seems to agree very much with this statement while the university seems to give it little importance. The article begins analyzing some related work and proposes change in the computer science undergraduate course to accommodate new ways of teaching and to incorporate professional skills teaching. lt also describes a course on extreme programming where some techniques will be used and evaluated.
