engineering is a young discipline. Although the term “software engineering” wascoined in 1968, development of the first undergraduate programs in the discipline did not beginin the United States until the mid to late 1990’s. The first software engineering programsdeveloped in the United States were not baccalaureate programs. Early programs were focusedat the graduate level, working with students who already had a base of knowledge in computerscience. Although there were isolated courses in software engineering offered at someinstitutions as early as the mid-1980’s, it was not until the early to mid-1990’s that softwareengineering concepts began filtering into undergraduate programs. Sometimes these conceptswere incorporated into computer engineering

For the instructor, s/he wants to provide formativefeedback early and often during the project to help the student understand the larger context of aspecific issue and how it applies in the real world. For the student, gaining an awareness of thecause-and-effect of her/his choices and actions within a team, and how those judgments translateto the real world is important.
