The majority ofthe students opted to research a real world problem facing them at work or home. A sample ofthe selected project topics were:• cost estimation of home remodeling,• cost estimation for the residential conversion of a Wall Street office building,• cost estimation of starting a web business,• cost estimation of a wheelchair accessible van, and• activity based costing at Fort Knox, Kentucky.Projects provide students with the opportunities to further explore a course topic(s) of theirchoice and to improve written and oral communication skills. 11 The first benefit was validatedby several of the

Once approved, theanalysis becomes a basis for the system design, embodied in a second document. Again, the use ofthe CASE tool is encouraged, as appropriate. When different projects are involved, the designdocument is reviewed by the team itself, since at this point the specific domain knowledge andfamiliarity with the overall system structure become more important.The teams then proceed to implementation.
