For the past 15 years, the SEI has hosted an annual Workshop for Educators to foster an ongoing exchange of ideas among educators whose curricula include the subjects of software architecture and software product lines. This three-day workshop features two days of SEI courses. Day three is devoted to invited talks and group sessions, facilitated by SEI team members, where participants shared experiences, ideas, and tangible artifacts for introducing software engineering topics into the college curriculum (the educators' "entrance fee" for participating in the workshop). These artifacts have ranged from course slides that focus on narrow skills such as code analysis, to a syllabus for including software engineering in a course that spans the software engineering lifecycle, to an overview of software engineering education as a focused certificate in a computer science undergraduate program.

The 16th SEI Software Engineering Workshop for Educators is open to any accredited college-level educator. It is not open to the general public.
