artifact online.Students learning software engineering principles and practices may find it difficult to applythem in the development of complex software projects. Software engineering involves acquiringapplication domain knowledge to understand the client’s needs. It is therefore important to domore than simply use a game as the term project in a software engineering course as someauthors have suggested [1], [2], [3].The authors believe that the capstone design course should not be the only opportunity forstudents to manage complex software development projects. This suggests the use of othercourses in the curriculum such as a game design or artificial intelligence courses as a means ofproviding additional software engineering project experience

fossil fuels.The rapid expansion of electric vehicles has created a growing demand for engineers withexpertise in this field. There is a recognized need for a large, well-trained workforce capable ofconducting research and development projects in electric vehicle technology. However, thedesign and implementation of electric vehicles are not yet well represented in mostundergraduate academic programs.To better prepare our electrical and computer engineering students for careers in this evolvingindustry, we encourage them to select capstone projects related to electric vehicles. This paperpresents two representative electric vehicle-oriented capstone projects undertaken by students inthese two programs, showcasing their efforts to gain hands-on

our electrical engineering students for the design and implementation of the renewableenergy systems, we encourage them to choose a renewable energy capstone project. To satisfy theABET requirements, students in electrical engineering programs are required to take a capstonecourse. This paper describes sample renewable capstone projects that students have done in thisprogram.IntroductionOver the past decade, engineering education has undergone significant changes, shifting towardcritical thinking, active learning, and hands-on problem-solving. Despite this progress, a growingskills gap persists in the engineering workforce due to the fast pace of technological advancement.Traditional education methods remain heavily theory-based and task

master mentors and coaches are present to develop a deepunderstanding of the foundations of agile [1][3]. An agile mindset suggests mastering these skillsfor practitioners to have an effective teamwork environment [3]. Thus, developing a proper agilemindset enhances agile project success [4]. Early career software engineers typically receivetheir first exposure to agile principles and methods in a university setting. Project-centric coursessuch as capstone experiences often expose students to the Agile Manifesto and to themechanisms of industry-relevant agile practices. But to what extent does this exposure help thesefuture professionals develop the agile mindset required to be successful in the modern softwaredevelopment organization?Popular

A member of the taskforce attended each consultation session to track thediscussion so that recommendations could be collated and integrated across all groups.Based on the aggregate consultation outcomes, the taskforce highlighted the following prioritiesfor action:• Highlight course differences between the software engineering program and the computer science program, including the application of software design principles and modern project management• Acknowledge the changing nature of software engineering and how content may need to adapt rapidly o Course descriptions should not focus

students through producing a workingsolution by having them use an agile process called Collaborative-Adversarial Pair (CAP)programming [12] specifically to apply cutting-edge industry techniques at each point in thesoftware lifecycle. The CAP model has been successfully used in the senior capstone projectcourses for the past 10 years. Moreover, the CAP method has been used as a pilot project byNeptune Technology Group Inc. in Plano, Texas, USA. The process used incrementally throughoutthe project development, starting with techniques that enhance writing code, and having anengineering activity, which addresses another lifecycle activity added each week. Students workedin an interactive environment in which they are instructed on new techniques

People play computer games because games are fun[6].The authors believe that the capstone design course should not be the only opportunity forstudents to manage complex software development projects. This suggests the use of othercourses in the curriculum such as a game design course as a means of providing additionalsoftware engineering experiences.

titlesincluding “Requirements Engineering and Specification”, “Full Stack Development 1: SoftwareRequirements Analysis”, “Software and Safety Requirements Engineering”, and “RequirementsElicitation, Modeling, and Analysis”, many of the other programs embedded requirements concepts intoother courses. This may have been a project-based course or a general introduction to softwareengineering with a more substantial focus on requirements. In all but one case, requirements wereclearly mentioned in one or more courses as a topic outside of the capstone design experience.However, the security area is somewhat concerning. In reviewing the course descriptions, 49% ofprograms clearly required a course which focused on security. Course titles, seemed to be
