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.
