This paper focuses on approaches to supporting and organizing student work for a capstone sequence shared by several computing degrees. These courses focus on software product creation from requirements specification through prototype product development. In these degree programs, students begin the capstone courses with good relevant knowledge, but often struggle with integrating and applying what...
This paper advocates the use of the "case study" approach to educating and training software engineers. After an account of the use of case studies in the education of professionals, there is a discussion of problems in educating software professionals and how a case teaching approach can be used to address these problems. The paper describes a project to develop a comprehensive and complete...
Past research has demonstrated that student misconceptions about degree programs can negatively affect enrolment and retention rates. Software engineering is a relatively new discipline that is distinct from computer science and other engineering specializations; however, it is still rapidly evolving and consequently there is potential for misconceptions about the new discipline to arise. A study...
With the popularity of the Internet, a continuous threat exists that PC's will come under attack. The increased availability of software on new, mobile platforms and embedded systems have resulted in an ongoing call for the need for secure systems. A graduate course in secure software engineering was developed at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The courses are part of a college-level Master's...
The computer science and engineering curriculum usually does not provide room for entrepreneurial courses. In addition, students experience the real-world environment only through limited time and scope internships. In this paper, we propose a framework to seed and encourage entrepreneurship in students' professional career. The goal of this framework is twofold: the students start working in real-world,...
Enterprises engaged in software offshoring are reticent about their involvements. This paper presents a view of software offshoring from an enterprise perspective based on the author's extensive globalization experience. It addresses the wide spread fear of decline of software development in developed countries due to offshoring by presenting a case study of a large scale software development offshored...
In this paper we present the innovative methods and experiences from several years of teaching practical software (SW) engineering at the Computer Science Departments of San Francisco State University (SFSU), USA in conjunction with the University of Applied Sciences, Fulda University, Germany. The key objectives and desired outcomes of our course were to train future SW developers, technical leads...
UNIBRAL is a program of cooperation between Germany and Brazil sponsored by CAPES Foundation, a body of the Brazilian Ministry of Education, jointly with DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst, a German academic cooperation body. Many Brazilian and German Universities are currently participating in this program. This paper describes a successful experience under the UNIBRAL program between...
