opportunities for innovations in teaching anddeveloping transferrable skills. We leveraged these opportunities by using the principles fromthe New Age Of Innovation of Prahalad and Krishnan5.Software engineering education researchers and practitioners have made significantinnovations 6,7,4 but they do not seem to have explored the application of new age innovationprinciples 5. Of the two principles - (a) N=1 (every customer is unique with uniquerequirements) and (b) R=G (global resources can help in handling the plurality of therequirements) - we are focusing on the former, i.e. N=1, in this paper.The evolving nature of software engineering, as compared to many other engineeringdisciplines, offers some benefits in using the principle.

identified in considering the most useful engagement of EE@SL. 1) Traditional engineering design focuses mainly on the acquisition phase of the system life cycle, with too little attention given to commitments that affect outcomes during operation. 2) Traditional capital budgeting does not fully accommodate evolving mutually exclusive design alternatives as capital investment opportunities incorporating design optimization. Powerful approaches utilizing modeling and indirect experimentation (simulation) may be used to help narrow the undesirable gap between commitment and system specific knowledge within EE@SL. During design synthesis, A-A’ and B-B’ may be reduced by effective integration and adequate iteration

Skills We believe that students should not only learn how to explain the principles, butalso learn practices to solve cloud-related problems. There are several main categories of comput-ing practice, as mentioned by Denning 12 : (1) programming, (2) engineering systems, (3) modelingand validation, (4) innovating, and (5) applying.Correspondingly, we provide an interpretation of the practice skills in terms of cloud computingeducation. (a) Programming: using cloud-specific programming model and high-level languagesto build data intensive analytic applications; (b) Engineering systems: designing and constructingsoftware systems based on cloud computing infrastructure. (c) Modeling and validation: develop-ing cloud economics models to estimate and
