These case studies often lack thefollowing: • Realistic artifacts (often space does not allow providing a complete requirements or Page 22.1242.2 design document) • Completeness (covers only a portion of the life-cycle, and not an end-to-end), with a focus on design and implementation • Ability to decouple from the text and apply in ways not intended by the author • Techniques for integration into course activities or into the curriculum as a whole • A scenario format that would motivate

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

students. Although persistence is valuable,being blindly persistent can be counterproductive. In ART, if the candidate traceability linksgenerated by the automated tool do not look promising, the students should learn to revisit theproblem definition or to re-prioritize the requirements (clusters) to be traced. Essentially, thisstrategy is analogous to engineering design, in which constructing and reasoning about a de-sign model, rather than building the full-fledged system, can help assure quality and minimizere-work. Despite the teaching of the shorten-the-feedback-loop principle in most curriculums,students should learn to apply the idea in a more flexible and dynamic way.3. Developing an enriched vocabulary.

Introduction Introductory software programing is an important first-year course that brings students to thedoor step of the CS major, which we consider as a CS1 course based on the definition given in[1]. It is also a requisite course for many students majored in Science, Technology, Engineeringand Math (STEM). The majority of the curriculum of this course is to teach a specificprograming language without any introductory concepts of

This approach, dubbed “The Software Enterprise”, is a four semester coursesequence taken by juniors and seniors (and in some cases graduate students). The coursesequence leads students through “Tools and Process”, “Construction and Transition”, “Inceptionand Elaboration”, and “Project and Process”. By the conclusion of the Enterprise sequence,students have an appreciation for the role of software process, the challenges of softwaremaintenance, the impact of open source, the pros and cons of off-the-shelf software integration,business considerations in building software, and other practical aspects of softwaredevelopment.

The traditional approach to teaching a Software Engineering course, as reflected inclassical textbooks 11, 10, usually starts with an introduction to software process models, which isthen followed with discussions on highlevel activities in various phases of a generic softwarelifecycle template that can accommodate all possible programming paradigms.
