Paper ID #29819Experiences of Integrating Learning and Engagement Strategies (LESs)into Software Engineering CoursesDr. Peter J Clarke, Florida International University Peter J. Clarke received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of the West Indies (Cave Hill) in 1987, M.S. degree from SUNY Binghamton University in 1996 and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Clemson University in 2003. His research interests are in the areas of software testing, software metrics, model-driven software development, domain-specific modeling languages, and computer science education. He is currently an

areessential to understanding software verification. It does not make sense to individually list eachterm or assign an assessment to each term, but the knowledge of terminology must be captured ingrading. Similar issues arise with quizzes, whereby quizzes are not always mapped directly tomeasurable concepts in the same way that the labs have been mapped.References[1] C. A. Tomlinson and J.

motiva-tion. By analyzing the results of this learning experience on the sample of 24 novice programmers,we further ascertain and explain the efficacy of our approach in reaching the following objectives:motivate and engage novice programmers to learn how to refactor code duplication, while helpingthem develop an appreciation for code quality and its systematic improvement. Our findings canhelp inform not only similar curricular interventions, but also the design of introductory comput-ing curriculum that integrates the topics of software quality and other fundamental principles andpractices in software engineering.AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable feedback that helpedimprove this

progress.ContextASU’s undergraduate software engineering students are an ideal population to look at. Studentswho have taken the full curriculum have been subject to semesterly project-based courses thathave them designing a project to help them develop key software skills over time. Each yearbuilds upon the previous year’s skills, thus creating a long-term process development approach.The first year and a half of the program begins with introducing students to programmingconcepts and other general sciences (ASU Software Engineering Major Map). In the second halfof the second year, a project spine is introduced in the form of a software development projectclass. Every semester, students extend their software development knowledge. Throughout juniorto senior

hybrid of electrical engineeringand computer science, and was first offered in the year 2002, with its first graduating class andaccreditation in 2006.A senior design capstone project has always been part of the curriculum for engineering students,with electrical engineering and computer engineering students put together on teams in order toutilize their different skills to complete a realistic project. Initially, all of the EE student teams didthe same project for a full year, with each year’s project being different from the previous year’s.After about 5 years of this, senior design started having diverse projects. Each project and team isadvised by a faculty member, and each year both students and faculty get an opportunity topropose new

, to healthcare and high performance networking. Dr. Atkinson’s academic experience includes a Ph.D. from University of Queensland, Australia and an Assistant Professorship at West Virginia University. He has publications in the areas of formal specification and verification of soft- ware systems, and software reuse. Dr. Atkinson’s interests currently include programming languages, high performance data transmission and re-architecture of larger existing software systems and software engineering curriculum development. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Industrializing Your Web Application Development ProjectAbstractIn any software development course, a good project is
