Frank Ackerman has 50 years of experience in all phases of software development. In 1985, he founded the Institute For Zero Defect Software to do applied research, consulting, and training for software de- velopment organizations seeking to improve the reliability of their software. His personal experience has lead him to the conviction that today’s development organizations can achieve significant improvement in software reliability for a small increase in effort. Some of his current research and educational activities are focused on improving current specification, coding, test

Educationformal methods a viable part of an undergraduate software engineering program that is for themost part intended to prepare practitioners rather than researchers. We have been fortunate tohave colleagues with a strong desire to learn and teach new things and to expand their expertiseacross a number of curricular areas, including formal methods. Nevertheless, significantopportunities for increased collaboration remain, among undergraduate SE educators and withformal methods researchers and tool developers.ConclusionIn spite of all the difficulties of incorporating the practical application of formal methods into anundergraduate software engineering curriculum, the authors believe that there is value in doingso.

SDL was created with a vision of providing a “real-life” team experience to students where they could unite theory and practice while working on large scale ongoing projects in the context of a standardized development process. This paper presents a retrospective on the pedagogical philosophy of the SDL and the specific challenges that we are currently facing in executing this

Of particular interest is the efficacyof collaborative learning approaches in general for individual engineering students. Our results froma large scale experiment provide no evidence that working on a successful and effective team affectsindividual exam performance. Thus, we will propose a qualitative study to determine the best waysto structure team work to enhance individual leaning.IntroductionFor a number of reasons, team-based projects are frequently included in software engineeringprograms.
