maintainable code is tospend significant effort refactoring a project, or throw out the original project and start from thebeginning. Our approach of incorporating an SPL owner into the project changes the motivationdiscussions and leads to more software reuse. We found that mindfulness of SPL andmaintainability by the whole team from the beginning of a project does delay development offeatures, but ultimately it saved time not having to re-write or refactor as often. Students initiallywere skeptical of the additional costs of SPL engineering, but as they saw the deployment tests,they appreciated the importance of maintainability more, and many cited it as the most significantlearning outcome of the course.6.3 Competition is a strong motivatorBy

more important for the other computing programs thatrequire it than for the software engineering program because this is often the only exposure tosoftware engineering principles that the non-software engineering students get. It will be OK ifsome topics found in classic introduction courses and considered essential for a fullunderstanding of software engineering are left out. Those that we had covered previously werenot being covered at a level that imparted that full understanding to begin with, and the softwareengineering students would see the full breadth and depth of those topics later in their program.With our redevelopment guidelines in mind, we set the primary goals for the course to be:  Instill good entry-level software

, the fact that the product had a real user in mind meant thatstudents were less inclined to compromise on the quality of their work.Instructors who try this variant should be mindful of intellectual property. In the Spring 2020, weintroduced a legal agreement where the students agreed to give up their intellectual property to thecustomer.DiscussionThe course presented here has increased the process focus beyond the level that is normallyincluded in a typical software engineering curriculum. This course design is highly flexible andapplicable at other institutions. In addition to the possible variations discussed above, we foundthat the choice of the primary programming language(s) has not impacted the learning outcomes;although when
