Bachelor and Master Theses

This thesis requires two students.

Software Engineering 2.0 is a recently proposed new paradigm in which general public is more closely involved in the development of software, for example through collaborations with automated AI agents. In this thesis, we will study how the general public is -and can be- prepared to take on this more advanced role. 

This thesis proposes to perform an analysis of available videos on YouTube that are aimed at the general public and through their content enhance the public's ability to function in the Software Engineering 2.0 paradigm as developers. The thesis combines a broad mapping of available material and an in-depth analysis of a selection of the material to answer questions such as "What types of videos are created?" "What software engineering concepts are covered?" "What are open challenges in the education of the general public?"

The thesis topic is quite open and the students taking the thesis are encouraged to bring their own ideas to further specify the research topic.

Good knowledge of Software Engineering and interest in doing empirical software engineering research.
