It isimportant for software developers to fix software security problems, however more imperative isfor software developers to understand that security features are not to be introduced as patchworkwhen a security situation arises but are to be addressed and handled very early in the softwaredevelopment lifecycle.

meeting the partner in the second week ofclasses. As they begin project implementation, learning and community relations are intermixedwith issues of the design itself and meeting deadlines. Community relations and impact comeinto play when they generally interact with the partner or are needing input and feedback. The balance seen in these reflections is similar to what has been seen in other data from theoverall program. In particular, a study of alumni [13] found that it was the interplay of thesedimensions that was cited by graduates that created the exceptional learning experience. Thegraduates found that the balance of the real project with a real user but within a safe learningenvironment created a synergy that was valuable for learning

recommendations are similar to the ones presented by Heckman et al. [24]. Softwaretesting should not be a single course provided to students when they are about to graduate; test-ing should be integrated and applied throughout the curriculum, in addition to having a separatetesting course. Students being exposed to software testing tools earlier would provide an easiertransition, better tool proficiency, more comprehensive and in-depth coverage of testing topics,rather than exposing all of these aspects in one course, in the final semester of the undergraduateprogram.7 ConclusionTo effectively teach undergraduates how to apply software testing principles and techniques anduse various tools to test a software application adequately, the course should have

The definition of theengineering design process and the student outcome number four provided by the ABET’s EAC[8] are among them.Assessing sustainability in capstone design projectsDesigning for sustainability is not an alternative to traditional engineering design, but a moreholistic design paradigm [7].

Several recent studies uncover not only that student programsare rife with quality issues, but also that students remain largely unaware of the importance ofcode quality and its improvement. Keuning et al. identified several code quality issues in a largedataset of student-authored Java programs, as well as the undisciplined practices that led to theseissues 3 . Through interviews, B¨orstler et al. uncovered that students possess a low degree of skillsand knowledge about code quality, concluding that code quality should be discussed more in

It seems no matter how often we cover a topic, somestudents don’t hear or it just doesn’t make sense to them. Hearing the topics discussed by newvoices and seeing code that has a different style, approaches a solution in a different way, or isorganized differently broadens the student’s exposure to the topics of the course and to code andproblem solving more generally.

software engineering (SE) in particular (e.g., [7, 8])are extensively described. A survey of the SE education literature in the period 1982-2013indicates that the most common approach to providing practical experiences in SE education is“learn by doing” [9]. Collaborative learning, which emphasizes the importance of students tolearn together and from each other, has also been reported to enhance student learning (e.g.,[10]).To support “learn by doing” in a collaborative setting in the context of SPM, course collaborationshave been previously used, although surprisingly few are reported in the literature.
