Report from the Summer School on Software Engineering andArtificial Intelligence

This report summarizes the curriculum and academic outcomes of the Summer School on Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (AI) held at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogot´a, Colombia. The summer school offered an in-depth introduction to the fields of Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Natural Language Processing (NLP); their role and applications in Software Engineering (SE) and the software development process. The feedback we received from the participants indicates that the program successfully enhanced their knowledge and the skills needed for them to navigate the role of AI in the current landscape of software engineering. The students of the summer school were engaged in the development of a full software system using AI-based tools as part of the development process. We found that the project was successful in providing the students with experience regarding how to incorporate AI-based tools as part of their software development process but not all students showed the same level of proficiency when leveraging AI tools.
