Agile Minds, Innovative Solutions, and Industry-Academia Collaboration: Lean R&D Meets Problem-Based Learning in Software Engineering Education. Romao, L., Kalinowski, M., Barbosa, C., Araújo, A., Barbosa, S., & Lopes, H. In Anais do XXXVIII Simpósio Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software, pages 346–356, 2024. SBC.
Author version doi abstract bibtex 4 downloads [Context] Software Engineering (SE) education constantly seeks to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry demands, with active learning methods like Problem-Based Learning (PBL) gaining prominence. Despite these efforts, recent graduates struggle to align skills with industry needs. Recognizing the relevance of Industry-Academia Collaboration (IAC), Lean R&D has emerged as a successful agile-based research and development approach, emphasizing business and software development synergy. [Goal] This paper aims to extend Lean R&D with PBL principles, evaluating its application in an educational program designed by ExACTa PUC-Rio for Americanas S.A., a large Brazilian retail company. [Method] The educational program engaged 40 part-time students receiving lectures and mentoring while working on real problems, coordinators and mentors, and company stakeholders in industry projects. Empirical evaluation, through a case study approach, utilized struc-tured questionnaires based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). [Results] Stakeholders were satisfied with Lean R&D PBL for problem-solving. Students reported increased knowledge proficiency and perceived working on real problems as contributing the most to their learning. [Conclusion] This research contributes to academia by sharing Lean R&D PBL as an educational IAC approach. For industry, we discuss the implementation of this proposal in an IAC program that promotes workforce skill development and innovative solutions.
