Abstract

We hope that our study will help illuminate the landscape of how different engineering disciplines understand and develop software. While we intend for our survey to be used in studying engineers in non-computing fields, we anticipate that the results of our study will inform the development of further research to investigate SEPT use in engineering in a discipline-specific or discipline-agnostic manner. In the broader context, we expect that these insights will help us more identify and teach key SEPTs in undergraduate engineering education, and thereby help future engineers write and maintain software more effectively, whatever their discipline.
