related and engineering programs as well. Some of the reasons for this decline is a. decline in the IT industry b. increase in outsourcing c. misconception of the incoming students that CS and SE are fields focused primarily on programming and Web design d. Incoming students focus on the job market today, which may be entirely different four years later. Student employees form a transitional workforce. Students move in and out of projects due to various reasons: graduation, transfer in and out of university/program, Page 11.318.4 or transfer in and out of research projects. The decline in enrollment makes it hard

elementsin the underlying set.The declaration of a relation within a signature means the relation consists of tuples whose firstelement is an atom from the signature’s underlying set. Thus known is a binary relation mappingeach book to those persons recorded in the book, and dates is a ternary relation, whose tuplesconsist of a book, a person known in that book, and that person’s birthday. Or at least that’s whatwe intend: without further constraints there is nothing to ensure the persons known in a book areexactly those whose dates are recorded.To create the needed constraints we add “facts” – predicates that must hold in any legal state ofthe system. In our case, we can state our constraint in one fact:fact { all b : BirthdayBook | b.known

engineering was taught using both collaboration and competition. In this course,students collaborated in two ways. First, they worked with their teammates in the projects. Page 11.1223.2Second, each team had representatives to form three cross-team committees. (a) The stan-dard committee defined the common interface and wrote the library so that the programbuilt by each team could compete. (b) The quality committee wrote testing code that usedthe standard interface. Any team that failed the tests would be disqualified from the finalcompetition. (c) The contest committee decided the competition rules and wrote the codeto decide the winner in each game. The

the Software Engineering Body ofKnowledge project (SWEBOK) 1 was released, so SWEBOK provided the initial framework forthe project. The module categories in the prototype web site – design, process, quality, andrequirements – corresponded directly to major focus areas of SWEBOK. Page 11.1125.2More recently, the Computing Curriculum in Software Engineering (SE 2004) 2 became availableand influenced the development of the SWENET project. SE 2004 gave rise to a more detailedbody of knowledge for education.

presentations. All necessary clarifications orreclassifications of data were resolved during these weekly status presentations.Each software project team was graded on the basis of the following criteria. - meeting the functional requirements - meeting the schedule (both intermediate and final) - monitoring the project effectivelyThe teams may earn similar letter grade such as B, but they were also given numericalgrades to retain a finer level of granularity. Project team success is defined in terms of theproject team grade, and the numerical grade served as the measuring scale for success.The following are the specific questions that we will address in this paper. 1. Does the amount of communications affect

As with the previous rubric, it was provided to students well in advance of the Page 11.332.7assignment due date so that they could focus their work on what the instructors consideredimportant. And, again, faculty using the rubric have the option of establishing a direct mappingof rubric scores to assignment scores, potentially easing their grading process. The facultymember who used this new rubric during the 2005–2006 offering of the course found that itsignificantly reduced his grading effort, while not seeming to reduce the
