How Project-based Courses face the Challenge of educating Software Engineers
Letizia Jaccheri, Patricia Lago · 1998
One way of teaching software engineering is to organize a course around a project similar to a real industrial project. This paper surveys some educational projects that have been presented in the literature. Some projects rely on a customer from the industrial world, on industrial CASE tools, on industrial process models, or on a combination of these. The presented survey is limited because of the number of the reported projects and the quantity and accuracy of information surveyed by the literature. To solve this problem, we propose a questionnaire that provides a framework for educational project categorization and study. Keywords: Software Engineering Education, Project-based Software Engineering Courses, Software Process Modeling. 1. INTRODUCTION Software Engineering (SE) is not simply concerned with technical activities, but it also involves both managerial aspects, e.g., definition, organization and planning of multiple interrelated activities, and collaborative aspects, e.g....
