technologyAbstract Teaching software development in environments that mimic industry practices isessential for teaching applicable real-word development skills. In addition, these delivery-basedprojects engage students in meaningful design work that encourages clear, sustainable code. TheSoftware Factory has provided such projects and environment to students at Montana StateUniversity (MSU) since the 2014 academic year. This project aimed to explore the effectivenessof such instruction for high school students with limited programming experience. Students fromBozeman High School, Bozeman, Montana, were selected to work in a team with two MSUundergraduate students with the goal of creating an Android application over the course of asummer semester

ChallengesAbstractThere are many benefits to participating in multi-campus collaborations among project-baseddesign teams. First, students gain experience in working in a distributed design environment,which is becoming more commonplace in engineering practice. Second, collaborations offer theability to share complementary expertise and allow student design teams to participate in projectsthat they would not normally be able to undertake alone. Third, collaboration among teams ofmultiple campuses allows for sharing of prior work and the opportunity to build upon the work tohave a more significant impact.There are, however, challenges to participating in multi-campus collaborations. It is difficult forstudent teams to partition projects such that they can be done

-learning context, the intention was to emphasize service, however academic demands dominated.Because of the hands-on design-and-build curriculum, the instructors felt that students couldperform effectively as engineers without additional “academic” material overhead. Thus, muchof the documentation requirements were curtailed.When the requirements eased, student passion returned; yet, the instructors soon discovered thatwith this excitement came reduced project performance. Though the faculty was teaching thedesign process and engaged students with multiple projects throughout the curriculum, studentshad not effectively learned how to develop project requirements and specifications. Therefore,the instructors revamped the approach and implemented a

Because of the high importance of RE inthe design of software systems, the need to introduce RE as a required course in theundergraduate Software Engineering (SE) and Computer Science (CS) curricula is getting moreattention.

. Although they do not have graduate students, they are replete with undergraduates, andsome of those students can be great assets for improving the local educational environment.Why not capitalize on that opportunity?This paper describes a project that used two volunteer students, both upperclassmen, to do mostof the work developing a pair of lab manuals at one of Purdue University’s satellite campuses.The lab books, totaling over 200 pages, were customized specifically for the labs used by thebeginning circuits courses. We describe the genesis of the project, how each student becameinvolved, the experience of managing and coordinating the work, the lessons learned by all threeindividuals, and the costs/benefits for all involved, including the
early results results from a four-year,mixed-method study which collected data through a combination of interviews and focus groupswith members of the Engineers Without Borders USA organization, analysis and coding ofcompleted project documentation, and observations and notes collected during a field visit to aproject site. We conclude from our early data that students who are able (given sufficientresources) to fully participate in these type of projects do see positive benefits. However, barriersmay prevent all students from having this opportunity. Further, the nature of student servicelearning projects inherently creates challenges for the communities that partner on these projects.Ongoing revisions to the Engineers Without Borders USA

Students are dividedinto groups to capture and evaluate their learning experience, project execution, and problemsolving experience. These student groups are divided into traditional wood framing materialonly and three dimensional modeling aided groups. The outcomes evaluate the use, acceptance,and
