instructors interested in migrating from general-purpose/web application basedsoftware engineering courses to mobile application-based courses. Furthermore, the paper alsoaddresses the following aspects from a classroom instruction perspective: (1) the importance ofstructured design and requirements analysis in building secure and reliable software systems, (2)the benefits and pitfalls of using XP in a classroom setting, and (3) the need to introduceconcepts important for secure and safety-critical systems into introductory software engineeringcourses.References1.

able to compare their outcomes. Through the comparison study, they will beable to better understand and appreciate software engineering testing concepts. Hopefully whenthey see the benefit, they will be more likely to take high level software engineering courses atthe later stage of their study. Because the testing was only introduced to the two classes with IDE experience, we wereable to collect more data points to show students’ progress after the learning of the testingconcept. We first had students working on a project, A, without any discussion of testingconcepts and we then introduced the concept of basic testing, followed by their work on anotherproject, B. 3.1 Four Measurements From each project, we collected the following

students and the professionals. The metric used here is the F2 measure commonlyadopted in traceability research.5, 8, 11 Formally, let A be the answer set of correct traceabilitylinks and B be the set of links submitted by the human. Then, recall is R = (|A ∩ B|)/(|A|),and precision is P = (|A ∩ B|)/(|B|). F2 represents a harmonic mean of R and P and is de-fined as F2 = (5 · R · P )/(4 · P + R). Note that the F2 measure weights recall (R) twice asmuch as precision (P ). This is because in automated tracing, it is easier to remove incorrectlinks than to find missing links.11To answer RQ2, we perform qualitative analysis by collecting a hybrid of data. Our main datasources are observations and notes taken during all the tracing sessions, coding and

UnLecture V: Software Engineering Ethics and Technology/Patent WarsRetrospection:Part I: Ethics1.1. What are your personal ethical principles related to a) workplace b) software engineering. You may give specific examples.1.2. What ethical questions have arisen in your professional experience? Explain how you (or the person involved) resolved the dilemma? Relate each experience to a clause in the IEEE/ACM Software Engineering Code of Ethics (include the clause #).1.3. Pick a specific clause from one of the 8 principles in the IEEE/ACM Software Engineering Code of Ethics (include the clause #). Critique the selected clause quantitatively. Include examples, as needed. Note: Avoid using the same clause for both (1.2) and (1.3).1.4
