Subject: A survey on GenAI & software engineering education

Hi Foutse,

I hope you are doing well. 

My colleagues and I are conducting a ~15-minute online survey to understand the gaps between the IT industry and university education on the use of Generative AI for software development.   This study will help us adapt curricula to better prepare future developers. 

We were wondering if you could contact your friends from the industry and encourage them to participate?

We would really appreciate it. This is the survey link:  https://wmsas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_81dPMVPGX1ltskS  

Thank you so much.
