The workshop focuses on three main topics: in software engineering education of which six submissions (1) project courses with industry, (2) active learning in large (one full paper, four short papers, one poster) have been courses, and (3) digital teaching and online courses. accepted and selected for presentation.

To compensate this situation, digital teaching, online Marcus Deininger (HFT Stuttgart) starts the workshop courses, and other new teaching concepts complement the with his keynote on approaches and experiences in higher curriculum. They offer a wide range of possibilities for modern education for software project practice. He discusses the goals and attractive teaching, yet introduce further methodical, of computer science education, which only partially meet technical and organizational challenges to be considered by the requirements of real-life software development. After the the teachers. keynote, authors give short talks on their papers and posters to II. GOALS initiate the discussion. Furthermore, all authors present their work in a dedicated poster session, which allows for building small groups to identify and discuss topics of interest.
The aim of the 2nd Workshop on Innovative Software Engineering Education1 is to bring software engineering educators together to actively work and discuss the most important topics, challenges, and solution approaches. The goal is to create a platform for sharing experiences and identifying common topics of interest to foster collaboration. The workshop discusses which specific challenges have not yet been solved, so that an agenda for the improvement of software engineering education can be developed taking into account changing social, economic and political conditions.
The workshop provides an interactive forum with paper and poster presentations, and room for discussion. Authors give short talks about their contributions, which are followed by intensive discussions. Discussions are moderated by selected supporters, who prepare (critical) questions thus stimulating and guiding the discussion. The overall goal is to use the presented papers as starting point to enter the plenary discussion and shape the topics for interactive group discussions.
The contributions to the workshop highlight innovative approaches in software engineering education and emphasize that education is an important research topic. This motivates for additional workshops in the future.
Many people contributed to the success of this workshop. We want to thank the authors and presenters of the accepted papers and the keynote speaker Marcus Deininger. We express our gratitude to the SE’19 conference organizers for supporting our workshop. We are glad that the following people (listed in alphabetic order) served the program committee, soliciting papers and writing peer reviews: Jürgen Börstler, Bernd Brügge, Birgit Demuth, Marlo Häring, Regina Hebig, Michael Hilton, Carsten Kleiner, Jürgen Münch, Dirk Riehle, Andreas Seitz, and Swapneel Sheth. In addition, we like to thank the two reviewers Mariana Avezum and Nadine von Frankenberg for their support.
