description

Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) contain the most relevant knowledge for a discipline. BOK must embody the consensus reached by the community for which a specific BOK will be applied. This consensus is a prerequisite for the adoption of the BOK by the community. In this context, at the level of higher education, especially in the field of software engineering, the academic world shows a significant enthusiasm for the development of various competencies related to entrepreneurship and innovation, focusing on both the promotion of opportunities and the strengthening of existing connections between university and software industry. The reality is that one of the main challenges in software engineering is to find the correct entrepreneurship competencies that should be promoted when training professionals, once the latter have finished their studies and started working in either the national or international software industry. In this sense, this paper is aimed at generating innovation and entrepreneurship skills in professionals in software engineering training. These competences are based on BOK principles.
