Proceedings of the 2007 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2007, American Society for Engineering EducationThis paper focuses on the design and application of two data management tools that supportsoftware project planning and tracking, based on defined measurement frameworks. One of thesetools, named LEIA (Laboratory Engineering Information Archive) was developed byundergraduate software engineering students at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE),and is used to manage team projects in MSOE’s Software Development Laboratory.

The Enterprise, however, introduces thesoftware phases in reverse order, and emphasizes soft-skills development through multi-yearstructured student collaborations. The Enterprise also introduces the sequence in theundergraduate, not graduate, program. Reverse ordering of the process phases is also introducedby the Software Development Laboratory at MSOE. Sebern acknowledges the difficulty newerstudents have grasping process and soft-skills concepts, and therefore students are led from“grave to cradle” through process phases.

technology education focuses on applied science and engineering and application of theory in real-world problems. Courses are aimed at preparing graduates for practice in a specific field of the technological spectrum. Courses are laboratory based and have a high component of practical practice and practical application. Hands-on experience is stressed in an educational environment targeted at producing “job ready’ graduates. As a degree program in Software Engineering Technology, the developed curriculum offerslaboratory based courses in hardware construction and design and software construction anddesign. Class sizes are targeted at 20 students. Laboratories are taught by the professors givinglectures. All students

I didn’t know UML then…” “It does seem like it takes a lot of time to create models for a software project but it will force you to think and know how the software will be structured and designed. This can also lead to solving many issues that may arise before any coding is actually begun.” “Another point from this Unlecture I found interesting was when one student talked about his experience as

We think this could be useful for a course that is focused onsecurity testing but not for an introductory course on software testing.Garousi7 presents open modern software testing laboratory courseware that is similar to theone we report in this paper, but he uses several tools and SUTs. One of his findings is thattesting educators should align the choices of SUTs and tools with the ultimate goal of thecourse at hand, the type of students, and the time and resources available to the students inthe course.Other forays into improving the teaching of software testing have been reported.

significant amount of time to be spent on introductory topics.Facilities needs are also challenging for these courses. As a group, these courses do not havededicated laboratory space for their offerings. This is especially problematic for networksecurity, as it is not possible for students to experiment in a “safe” networking environmentwhich is protected from outside entities. Network connectivity also poses issues. The lab spacetypically used for these courses is not equipped with wired network connections, instead relyingon 802.11g wireless networking. This poses significant connectivity issues when all students ina class are attempting to install a large binary for a commercial grade security tool.Software tool support is also a challenge for
