The workshop is designed to provide participants with practical exposure to modern softwa re engineering workflows\, industry tools\, and professional development p ractices while helping them understand the technical competencies\, engine ering mindset\, and career readiness required to succeed in today's rapidl y evolving technology industry.\n\nThe workshop brings together experience d software engineering professionals from leading technology organizations to share their knowledge through expert-led technical sessions\, an inter active industry panel discussion\, and a hands-on engineering challenge. P articipants will explore the transition from university-level programming to production-grade software development\, gain valuable insights into int ernship and recruitment expectations\, and learn what differentiates succe ssful candidates in the software engineering job market. The workshop will conclude with a guided project-building session where participants will a pply industry-standard development practices and tools to develop a portfo lio-ready software engineering project\, enabling them to strengthen both their technical capabilities and professional portfolios while building me aningful connections with industry experts.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ms. Shashiprabh a Dangalla\, Mr. Nalaka Samarasinghe\, Ms. Jayani Amandakoon\, Mr. Devon W ijesinghe\, Mr. Arshardh Ifthikar\, Mr. Suresh Peiris\n\nAgenda: \n9:00 AM - 9:05 AM: Welcome and Opening Remarks\n\n9:05 AM - 9:50 AM: Session 01: Evolving World of Software Engineering (Keynote session)\n\n9:50 AM - 10:1 0 AM: Kahoot Quiz\n\n10:10 AM - 11:25 AM: Session 02- Breaking Into Tech: What Actually Gets You Hired (Panel Discussion with Q&A)\n\n11:25 AM - 11: 45 AM: Networking Session and Refreshments\n\n11:45 AM - 1:15 PM: Session 03- The Engineer Challenge: Design\, Build and Deliver (Hands on practical session)\n\n1:15 PM - 1:30 PM: Closing Remarks and Group Photograph\n\nII T City Campus\, 435 Galle Rd\, Colombo 00300\, Colombo\, Sri Lanka\, Sri L anka\, 00300 LOCATION:IIT City Campus\, 435 Galle Rd\, Colombo 00300\, Colombo\, Sri Lan ka\, Sri Lanka\, 00300 ORGANIZER:info@ieeeyp.lk SEQUENCE:30 SUMMARY:CodeBridge - The Pathway to Software Engineering URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/566795 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify\;">Co deBridge &ndash\; The Pathway to Software Engineering\, powered by IFS\, i s a premier technical workshop organized by IEEE LETs Talk together with I EEE Young Professionals Sri Lanka to bridge the gap between academic learn ing and real-world software engineering practices.
