toolsthat are being developed to achieve project objectives, the work related to the development ofcase studies is described here. Historically, case studies have been as educational tools inbusiness, law and medicine but not so much in software engineering. The hypothesis is that casestudies would be effective educational tools to introduce real-world professional practices intothe classroom which would help the students in identifying and solving problems, and develop aperspective on knowledge application. In this paper we describe a set of V&V related case-studies that we have drawn from industry experiences and developed them as pedagogical tools.These case-studies cover several important topics in S/W V&V domain such as software

In the future, we will make more effort on generating interdisciplinary projects bystudents and faculty from different disciplines.AcknowledgmentThe project activities were funded by the Sacramento State University Enterprises, Inc.

finished their projects (see figures 2a and 2b). Participants were asked to reflect back tobefore the project began to rate their confidence on skills on a Likert scale, and then considertheir confidence at the conclusion of the project. In the future, a survey will be given to studentsat the first build session, and the same survey upon completion to measure competencies.A statistical analysis of the survey results was performed. For each category considered, the datawas first tested for normality. For normally distributed data sets, a paired t-test was used. For thedata that was not normal, the Wilcoxon R-S test was used to test for significance. A p-value lessthan 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Figure 2a: First part of survey
