The professors need to do their part in addressing the academia-industry 'gap'.However, doing so through their teaching, the professors face seemingly unavoidable limits and limitations, which can induce cognitive dissonance.This poster investigates and illustrates this phenomenon, and its implications, by means of a collection of metaphors and mind maps.

The women in software engineering continue to face a culture of discord that manifests itself in the form of underrepresentation, unpleasantness, and/or inequitableness.This somewhat dire situation was only exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic when the women in software engineering education and profession had to deal with multiple 'crisis'.The status quo is clearly unacceptable, not least because of pervasiveness of software in society.In that regard, relying on a multipronged approach grounded in a body of knowledge, ethicality, and history, this paper proposes certain basic steps in software engineering courses and projects that could be put into practice for improving "gender literacy" among students.These educational steps are illustrated by anecdotes and examples.

In recent years, software has increasingly become anthropomorphic, even autocratic.For example, software is being used exclusively for activities, such as decision-making, question-answering, or recommending, that in the past were either partly or entirely human.This has only contributed to the enduring issue of software ethics.In that regard, this paper models ethicality as a meta-quality attribute and proposes an ethically-sensitive, standards-based, technology-and-toolindependent, semi-formal framework, comprising interrelated conceptual (meta-)models that provide an understanding of ethicality, user story environment, and user story process.It outlines an approach of integrating ethicality naturally and systematically in the user story process, and provides illustrative and representative examples in support of this approach.Finally, it presents the results of a preliminary survey of students and professionals on their knowledge and experience of ethics in (agile) software projects.

In the context of an agile project, negative interactions are addressed by equipping the 'conventional' positive user story engineering process with a number of conceptual models, including those for negative user story and negative role.The challenges inherent in eliciting negative uses, negative roles, and negative user stories are highlighted.The cost of engineering negative user stories is analyzed.The relationships among positive and negative user stories are considered.For illustration, a detailed example is presented.
