Abstract

This paper summarizes some of the lessons learned by the author in teaching courses for software professionals. These classes' primary objective is to provide participants with knowledge about some software engineering methods and techniques. We summarize some advice on how to build and deliver these classes. In addition, these courses are also a good two-way communication channel between academia and industry, since the instructors can get good insights into current practices and future trends. So, these courses help bridge the gap between Academia and Industry in both education and research.
