Finally, the last part focused on making studentsreflect on the general experience of the course, the usefulness of the methodology used, thecontents worked on (specifically HCI), and their perception of the contribution that thiscourse had on their job readiness.Different actions were carried out to ensure the validity of our qualitative study.

Community-engaged projects are much different than the types of problems that undergraduate students have been made accustomed to, and a considerable amount of time could be consumed trying to develop a comprehensive understanding of the problem. Faculty advisors have a much greater responsibility than normally to guide the project teams toward the appropriate scope and priorities while being sensitive to the timeline.2. Capstone teams generally performed well at identifying the initial costs needed to implement a project and get it operational; however, some teams had difficulty in identifying the operation and maintenance costs and the future replacement costs necessary to adequately determine the annualized

In addition, the time to grade and assessthe teams’ submissions was greatly reduced.

IntroductionA Software Product Line (SPL) is a set of software systems that share common assets and are easyto deploy and configure for new environments [6]. There are many approaches that can be used tocreate an SPL including model-driven development, modularization refactoring, the use of SPLdesign patterns, reuse design, and others, but few software engineering classes have time to teachor apply these concepts.

Businesses must respond to increased competitionthrough the selection of lower cost solutions and engineering economics provides the tools forthis project selection. Engineering Economics accomplishes this by allowing companies toallocate financial resources in the most efficient manner while maximizing financial payback tothe company. As Eugene Grant said engineering “involves a realization that quite as definite abody of principles governs the economic aspects of an engineering decision as governs itsphysical aspects”. Thus, engineering economics deals with the kinds of economic decisionsengineers
