Abstract

The human aspects involved in the software development process are vital to a successful completion of a software project. The author advocates for human factor topics to be part of mainstream software engineering education in order to elevate job satisfaction, improve performance, and increase productivity of software engineers. Emphasis should be on providing a practical overview of software engineering processes from a human perspective, offering alternative viewpoints within technically saturated curricula.
