The IEEE Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T) has established itself as a major venue for development and exchange of ideas in modern software engineering education. Over the years, the conference has become the center of a vibrant and innovative community of educators - both academics and industry professionals.

In 2025, the 37th edition of CSEE&T will be co-located with ICSE 2025 - the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering - in Ottawa, Canada. CSEE&T 2025 will replace ICSE’s traditional education track (SEET), allowing for a greater focus on software engineering education through a dedicated co-located conference. By joining forces with ICSE, we aim to bring together the two communities best placed to address the many challenges of educating the next generation of software engineers.

CSEE&T 2025 aims to solicit, review, and publish original high-quality contributions addressing challenges, innovations, and best practices in software engineering education and training. All types of software engineering education are of interest, including (but not limited to) primary and secondary education, university education at undergraduate and graduate levels, coding clubs, hackathons, bootcamps, industrial training, informal study, and life-long learning.

Topics of Interest

CSEE&T 2025 seeks original contributions covering all dimensions of learning and teaching in the area of software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Methods of teaching software engineering skills
