Petra Heck (Fontys) zal tijdens de komende editie van Bits & Chips in Eindhoven een lezing geven met als titel:
What is an augmented engineer? Software engineering in the age of GenAI
Hier vind je een toelichting op haar lezing.
At Fontys UAS, we’ve been educating software engineers for many years. Since 2019, we also educate AI engineers: software engineers who know how to build production-ready AI systems. Recently, we saw a whole new combination of AI and software engineering: using LLM-based tooling to automate the software engineering process itself. We quickly adapted by adding new semesters to our curriculum, starting employee professionalization programs, building necessary infrastructure, but most of all by starting experiments. We educate the AI-augmented software engineer of the future. Working toward this moving target has given us valuable insights into how to transform your software engineering processes in practice and how the job of a software engineer might change. We’ll share our lessons learned both for individual software engineers and architects worrying about their jobs, as well as for engineering companies worrying about their future.
