WebIDE is a new web-based development environment for entry-level programmers with two primary goals: minimize tool barriers to writing computer programs and introduce software engineering best practices early in a student's educational career. Currently, WebIDE focuses on Test-Driven Learning (TDL) by using small iterative examples and introducing lock-step labs, which prevent the student from moving...
The complexity and scale of modern software systems require that such software be developed by teams. Good communication skills are critical to the success of software development efforts. However, software engineering students typically have little experience in conveying information in a clear, complete, and unambiguous manner. In this paper we describe the use of document templates as a way to...
The use of case studies in teaching software engineering has been steadily growing in recent years. Rich opportunities exist in both academia and industry to capture project data and turn it into learning opportunities. Unfortunately, no easy-to-use tool exists to help authors with the task of transforming un-edited material into an assembled, pre-packaged case. A recent project at Carnegie Mellon...
Engineering educators struggle with ldquosoftrdquo topics - topics which include a social element. Soft engineering topics are distinct from the scientific and mathematical underpinnings of engineering. Students frequently complain when these topics are integrated into engineering curricula. Engineering educators also express concerns that they lack both preparation and ability to teach these topics.
The Woodbury University Spring 2008 "IT410 Senior Systems Project" class has successfully applied agile principles, practices and tools to complement the software analysis, design and engineering tools and techniques students have been learning throughout their education. These skills and expertise are required to demonstrate competence and complete their final systems projects. Introducing...
This paper provides an overview of work being done in the EntryPoint project, which is examining the first course work in computing degrees. A key goal of this project is to move away from the traditional CS1/CS2 programming courses as the start of a computing degree. In addition, the project team is looking at how these ideas might be extended to BSSE degree programs. As such, this paper will discuss...
