  1. Closing thoughts…

  2. Requirements Engineering • RE is difficult • Different types of stakeholders • Non-functional pressures (costs, market share, deadlines, etc.) • New demands for RE (security, assurance, interoperability) • RE technology is still evolving • New elicitation techniques • New modeling approaches • New analysis and verification techniques • …

  3. Future of RE • Importance of RE is increasing • Many organizations have survived with great programming skills • Prevalence/complexity of computing making good programming insufficient • 4 Factors will demand rigorous RE practice • Scale (size, complexity, # of decision nodes) • Need for autonomic computing (self-*) • Globalization (distributed elicitation, modeling, development) • Assurance (security, correctness, fault-tolerance)

  4. Stay on the Leading Edge • It is easy for technical skills to become obsolete • Computing field is moving at lightening pace • HW is changing quickly • User needs are changing • SW continues to try to catch up • Professional development: • Join IEEE • Take professional enrichment workshops • Attend major international conferences • (OOPSLA, ICSE, RE, ICAC, ASE) • Look for opportunities to work on new technologies • Plan for 5 years down the road, not just tomorrow.

  5. More Schooling? • Graduate School: • Did you know that you can go to graduate school for free and get paid a salary? • (RAs, TAs, fellowships, company sponsorship) • Investment in yourself: take the GREs now! • Good for 5 years • MS vs PhD (more advanced development vs research) • Not happy with your career: • School is always a good place to get your bearings again

  6. Questions to answer • Name 3 key things that you learned about RE and/or SE from this course • Discuss the tradeoffs between having a customer-sponsored project versus a made-up project • Discuss tradeoffs between having group projects versus individual projects.
