project experience that extends for more than one academic term[2][12]. An alternative approach implemented by Moore[8][9] in the Real World Lab at the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology, is a project course sequence in which large-scale projects are addressedby a series of student teams over an extended period of time. In this model, less experiencedstudents can work on a large system that is reasonably well defined and documented by previousteams; while more experienced teams can initiate new systems or major enhancements. Inspired by Moore’s vision of creating a “level 5” (referring to the original CapabilityMaturity Model published by the Software Engineering Institute[11]) software developmentorganization in an academic environment, and

Defined: The software process for both management and engineering activities isdocumented, standardized, and integrated into a standard software process for the organization.All projects use an approved, tailored version of the organization’s standard software process fordeveloping and maintaining software.4. Managed: Detailed measures of software process and product quality are collected. Both thesoftware process and products are quantitatively understood and controlled.5. Optimizing: Continuous process improvement is enabled by qualitative feedback from theprocess and from piloting innovative ideas and technologies.”Most

The main reason behind this change in policy, is the way United States government, since 9/11, has made it harder for foreign nationals to apply for a work visa. Moreover, with the country at war, there is an increased need for improvement in defense technology and hence more funding is available for defense related projects, which are highly sensitive and require citizenship.Technical IssuesThere are number of technical issues that one should be aware of, when setting up anindustry academic collaboration in the area of software engineering.

This paper examines and characterizes the amountof communications that take place in the different activities and phases of softwaredevelopment projects. An important set of activities, project management, is alsoincluded in our study.Previous research2 has shown that team communications and team performance has acurvilinear relationship. Several studies7,8 have shown that effective communication isrelated to success in information technology projects. Some preliminary
