2. RationaleNASA software development activities in support of projects often require a balanced blend of software engineering development expertise and knowledge. If software is contracted out, the development activities also require knowledge of NASA's acquisition practices and regulations. The Office of the Chief Engineer (OCE) and the Centers have committed to support these objectives by providing sufficient funding in support of the training. In some instances, funding for training may be provided by multiple organizations if the training is beneficial to the communities they represent. |

3. Guidance
Software engineering skills and expertise can be acquired through formal courses, on-the-job training, and specialized work assignments. While some of these skill enhancements come about while executing the project's activities, i.e., funded by the project, many need formal course work to achieve improvements in software engineering capability.
OCE and Center funding provides an opportunity to build a foundation that supports software improvement activities, as well as core courses across a software engineer's career.
...
Software engineers use project training funds to develop specific skills and expertise in programming languages, design tools, operating systems, coding standards, etc. Project-funded training differs from OCE- and Center-funded training in that it is generally focused on skills needed to produce software specific for its systems and subsystems.
OCE conducts an annual call with Software Working Group (SWG) representatives to plan the following year's needs and course offerings.
