reflection on these observations, we came to a conclusion that a good way toaddress the question above would be to gain experience in (and test-run) Project-Based Learning(PBL). It appears that engineering has inherent appeal due to its strong “hands-on” component –we have not met a student of engineering yet who wouldn’t be fascinated by the applied natureof the subject, which translates into “building something” or “seeing something work.” PBL isalso advantageous from the perspective of structuring the coursework to maximize its impact onthe students’ ability to a). Find a desirable job, and b). Succeed in it – and it’s no secret thatpresent-day industry operates in terms of projects. Thus, it has been decided that our teachingproject will focus

The highest scores were given to questions 1, 3, 5, and 7 and indicated that hands-onactivities and ‘human factors’, including communication between the instructors and the studentsand lecture style, had a significant impact on the students’ evaluation of the course.

About one-third of the campuses also share treatment of social and ethicalissues as well an introductory survey-type treatment of software engineering topics.Tables 7(a) and 7(b) depict those areas in which programs in software engineering and computerscience diverge. The data in these tables was compiled by considering those courses which wererequired by only one of the programs on a given campus, classifying them by the program towhich they were unique. This set of topics was compiled across all programs, so the data in thesetables has been aggregated across all
