three weeks of the term were just a hack fest); used notextbook and our own lecture notes (that was a lot of preparation work) to a classic softwareengineering tome as the textbook (which only half the students bought and few of them read);had teams create full use case requirements, specification, design, and test plan documents(Document Engineering again) to preparing user stories, design, and simple acceptance testspecifications (this seems like about the right mix); in different versions, we had the projectimplemented in C++, Java, and Python and as a desktop application and a web application; it hasbeen delivered blended [4] and completely face-to-face. In one version of the course, we chooseone of the classic texts with the idea that in

shown to increase the fun elements and also acts as a motivation factor forstudents to become more active in learning. In future, we plan to conduct systematic literaturereview on the effect of gamification beyond just CS/SE by expanding it to STEM baseddiscipline. Additionally, we plan to continually improve the design and usability of SEP-CyLEby using most influential game elements. While there are some studies underway, we plan toreport the results and conduct additional studies guided to builder a larger body of evidence onusefulness of gamification in CS/SE education.7.

students were unsure (answered “May be”) of their plans. Some students made ambivalent statements in their PROs and CONs such as, “Ability to thinkincreases” as a PRO and “Does not help for innovation” as a CON; “No Coding” as a PRO and“Missing development as a CON; “Interesting Field” as a PRO and “Boring Life” as a CON.Perhaps, they were looking at the situation from different perspectives. The professionals also were not inclined to join or continue in testing careers. While 45% chose“Certainly Not” or “No” options, only 25% chose “Certainly Yes” or “Yes” options, and 30% wereambivalent.Discussion It is evident that the testing profession is far from being popular. In case of students, less than10% were thinking of taking up testing

semester. These experiments are described inthe next two sections.Initial trialDuring the fall 2016 term, the author was informed that a single student in the SoftwareEngineering program was scheduled to graduate in the spring 2017 term. This student would needto have the capstone course in order to graduate. The first regular offering of the course wasscheduled for fall 2017. Immediately, we begin planning for how to offer a group experience forthis single student.At about the same time, the author was made aware of the Social Coder project(https://socialcoder.org ) because of a partnership between Social Coder and theACM 6,7 . The social coder organization is an organization dedicated to connecting volunteerprogrammers with charity groups for

educator and the industry professional field those questions. In practice, theprofessional fields questions about project implementation, while the educator fields questionsabout project requirements. When students are happy with their project, they upload their WARfile to the server and the educator grades it (project grading is not automated).Live, online Q&A sessions are held one evening per week and only last about an hour.Attendance is not mandatory, but we do require students to view the recording if they cannotattend. Even though they are called Q&A sessions, we almost always have something planned. Acommon occurrence is that the educator will share his screen and will begin going through theproject on his computer. The industry
