by the tight confines of the undergraduatecurriculum, this isolation results in the perception that the content of such courses are a skill-setwith limited applicability. Second, it means that students are generally unprepared for thechallenges of software engineering learning activities when first encountered. With mostintroductory software engineering courses applying experiential learning and couching learningactivities in the context of a team-based project, the challenge of mastering course content iscomplicated by what is, for most students, their first significant experience with teaming and thedifficulties of managing not just their own work but also the work of their teammates.These challenges motivate the need for better

learningobjectives. The course is structured around the implementation of a visualization tool for use inexplaining and demonstrating fundamental concepts and classical results of graph theory. Possiblegraph theory topics to be included in the tool are search techniques, Euler circuits, and minimalcost spanning trees. Many of the decisions about the project’s design and the topics covered are de-pendent on the students. As a result, the resulting tool can appear quite different from one offeringto the next. The project is intended to be developed by one or more student groups with all groups usingthe same interface for the graphs and visualizations. Strict enforcement of interface usage allowsthe opportunity to teach many design patterns that will aid in

. Gradually, as Page 22.1308.3the importance of software engineering topics was recognized, treatment of software engineeringconcepts filtered into undergraduate programs. Sometimes these concepts were woven intocourses in computer engineering and sometimes they were treated in computer science courses.As more experience was gained with software engineering courses within computer sciencecurricula and computer engineering curricula, it was recognized that it took a differentexperience to educate a software engineer1. Education of a software engineer requirescoursework and applied project experience that goes beyond what can be added to a
