Prof Jarzabek has been a faculty member of NUS School of
Computing since 1992, and is particularly interested in software
engineering project courses.
He believes that software engineering education
is undergoing a lively debate, and he believes that the role of
a university is to teach students fundamental concepts, not
over-emphasizing specific technologies that are rapidly
changing.
Sharing at his
homepage, Prof Jarzabek said: “Understanding fundamentals
creates a reference point and shapes judgment that will help
graduates adapt to changes through their careers.”
“It follows that the role of project courses is to teach how to
apply proven principles in large-scale team-based software
development,” he added.
