project experience that extends for more than one academic term[2][12]. An alternative approach implemented by Moore[8][9] in the Real World Lab at the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology, is a project course sequence in which large-scale projects are addressedby a series of student teams over an extended period of time. In this model, less experiencedstudents can work on a large system that is reasonably well defined and documented by previousteams; while more experienced teams can initiate new systems or major enhancements. Inspired by Moore’s vision of creating a “level 5” (referring to the original CapabilityMaturity Model published by the Software Engineering Institute[11]) software developmentorganization in an academic environment, and

A major shortage in skilled American workers threatens theability to compete in the global marketplace. The number of American engineers is decreasingsignificantly and countries that traditionally have not graduated many engineers in the past, suchas India and China, are now drawing significantly ahead of the United States. In the next 10years, the United States will need 100,000 engineers and technicians per year. Yet the USeducational
