REET 2014 - Workshop on Requirements Engineering Education & Training

Effective Requirements Engineering (RE) is increasingly recognized as a critical component in the success of software, product, service, and platform development projects. University curricula in multiple fields are beginning to address RE skills as a foundational skill set within their disciplines. Furthermore, many industrial organizations are recognizing the need to develop RE related training programs as part of their ongoing process improvement initiatives. Following the theme of RE'14, Innovation in and through Requirements Engineering, REET'14 elicits papers and presentations that offer innovative strategies or proposals to address some of the challenges in RE Education and Training. Given the breadth of industrial disciplines where RE is relevant, how are academic institutions addressing questions of curriculum and evaluation? Within industry, how might RE education and training be offered to practitioners who may be quite proficient in their primary disciplines but find themselves less confident when they must specify requirements for a project or product?
