Introducing software engineering processes via games and simulations: a Tri-P-LETS initiative
Linda B. Sherrell, David L. Mills · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2008
Through Tri-P-LETS (the Three P Learning Environment for Teachers and Students), the University of Memphis has changed student perceptions about computer science. Graduate students have assisted high school programming teachers by creating and presenting an enhanced curriculum emphasizing three P foundation areas: Process, Programming, and Problem Solving. This paper describes Tri-P-LETS and its impact on beginning programming classes in the Memphis area. It also discusses a software engineering process and associated forms that were used to provide students with a more realistic view of software development.
