of high importance. All of our respondents emphasizedwhat an important tool and concept this is, and noted that it should integrated across thecurriculum if possible. It was suggested that the topic be introduced as a concept, used on anindividual basis later, and finally used in a team setting (either on new large code base or toaccess an existing code base). This topic was not covered in our curriculum except in the CScourse “Software Tools”, which our engineering students cannot typically fit into their schedule.Working with existing codeWhile it is a challenge to approach this in a class setting, the results indicate that it would behelpful if students could gain experience at working with code they didn’t develop, and withbodies of code

such as proceedings, journals and transactions. As part ofthe assessment protocol, each student was asked the schematic contribution of the referencedarticles.C. RA II and Ability (f): An understanding of the ethics and professional responsibilityHerker[18] states the teaching of ethics should not be a course. Ethics needs to be integrated tomany of the curriculum courses. Herker proposes ethical aspects in engineering should achievethe following results: (a) increase the sensitivity of ethics (b) increase in the knowledge ofrelevant standards or behaviors (c) ethical judgment improved and (d) improves the will powerethics.The course of RAII gives the students a space to develop these aspects. During the writingprocess, the student had to find

that theproject is in the context of just one course out of many, and like most courses the project activityis deadline-driven. Yet in the context of a learning process, exclusively performing deadline-driven activities implies the learning process suffers, as compliance drops and contextualizedlearning benefits are limited. This is one of the prime motivations for a platform that performscontinuous assessment, provides timely feedback and identifies compliance issues as soon aspossible.Continuous assessment interpreted from an agile software engineering perspective is closelyrelated to the practice of continuous integration and testing2. This practice is fundamental to agilesoftware engineering in that it supports transparency, visibility

interact with a projectmanager are important skills in many computing professions. The integration into the computerscience and software engineering curricula of opportunities for students to learn and exercisethese skills, however, could be challenging due to various logistical reasons. The work describedin this paper evaluates a newly established collaboration between an undergraduate softwareengineering course on software project management and an undergraduate computer sciencecourse on software development in terms of student learning and experience. The contributions ofthis work are a methodology for evaluating such collaborations and some lessons learned fromapplying this methodology for one semester.1 IntroductionThe ability to manage

This is the first such program in the US that also has an ABET accredited general engineering curriculum. Students will receive a B.E. in Software

In these areas, he developed and applied technologies including distributed, component-based software ar- chitectures, software and systems engineering process models, intelligent control, the semantic web, and real-time artificial intelligence. In 1999, Dr. Hawker joined the Computer Science Department at the University of Alabama as an Assistant Professor focusing on software engineering, and in 2004 he moved to the Software Engineering Department at RIT. Dr. Hawker is also co-director of the Laboratory for En- vironmental Computing and Decision Making, which focuses on modeling and understanding the impact of freight transportation and automotive industry activities and public policies.
