There also exist situations where companies send engineers to theclassroom at the expense of the companies and situations where engineers with many years ofpracticing experience decide to have a second career in academia. Students in primarilyengineering technology programs indicated that as a result of including real world engineeringexperiences in the curriculum they became more job ready and were actually receiving job offersas a result.13,14 More recently and partly in response to ASCE’s Body of Knowledge15 report andPolicy 46316, many schools

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. This paper describes the authors’ experiences revising andemploying active learning materials to teach software engineering content in a sequence of twogame design courses offered in both face-to-face and asynchronous online modalities during

Also, students may have little or no understanding of how and where the labconcepts and principles can be applied in real world problems.
