I need some help with a software engineering research paper!

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

Edit:
Thank you to everyone who has sent me their contributions! The requirement for my paper has been fulfilled and everyone has been a great help to me.


As a senior in high school, one of my requirements for graduating this semester is completing a vocational research paper. Essentially, I research and write about a field I would like to enter, and obviously I decided to write about software engineering!

Part of the paper is having someone (or multiple people) currently in the field of software engineering/development complete a questionnaire inquiring about their job.

As great as this is for receiving experience and answers to common questions about entering the field of software, I do not personally know anyone who works in developing software. So I've decided to reach out here and see if anyone would like to contribute!

The details

The questionnaire is simply a short (8 questions) list of questions that you would type out the answers to and send back to me via email.

Your answers will not be used in any manner outside of submitting the paper to my school. Your name will be the only disclosed information.

If you are interested in helping out a budding software developer, please reply below! I'll send out the questionnaire to the email that is public on your profile.

And of course, your time and answers are extremely valuable to me. I am passionate about software development and engineering, and I would love any advice you can give.

Thank you! πŸ˜„

Hi, I am also writing a research paper on how necessary clamps are in production. I had to survey the enterprise employees about how the clamps facilitate the work in production. Unfortunately, many businesses refused the survey, citing that they did not have time for it. But one day, I needed a clamp in my household chores; I bought it sandfieldengineering.com/what-we-d... . Fortunately for me, the employee who sold me the clamp worked on the production of clamps and conducted a survey, and gave me the results. That's how I got the data for my research work.
