AB  - Software Engineering Learning in HFOSS: A Multi-Institutional Study                                                          AbstractStudent involvement in Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) projects hasbeen tracked since 2006 [1]. Initial studies indicate that benefits from involvement in HFOSSprojects include greater student motivation to pursue computing careers and an increase insoftware engineering knowledge [2,3]. In fact, involvement in HFOSS is increasingly beingutilized as a way to educate software engineering students and there are a growing number offaculty members who are involving students in HFOSS projects [4].This paper reports on the results of a multi-institution study of student perceptions of learningwithin an HFOSS project. The study involves four different institutions with courses offeredbetween fall 2013 and fall 2014. Students were involved in projects including GNOMEGNOME Mouse Trap, a project to provide alternative input for physically impaired users, andOpenMRS, an electronic medical record system used extensively in developing countries.A pre- and post-course survey was used to obtain student opinion of motivation and learning,with particular focus on software engineering learning and professional skills. The survey asksabout background knowledge and uses a 5-point Likert scale to obtain feedback on softwareengineering and professional skills and knowledge gained. The paper will investigate aspectssuch as gender and programming experience and their impact on perceived student learning.Results of the multi-institution study will also be compared to the results from the initial study.References[1] Ellis, H.J.C., Morelli, R.A., de Lanerolle, T.R., Damon, J., and Raye, J., “Can Humanitarian Open-Source Software    Development Draw New Students to CS?” SIGCSE 2007, Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education,    Covington, KY, Mar. 2007.[2] Ellis, H.J.C., Hislop, G.W., Rodriguez, J.S., and Morelli, R.A., “Student Software Engineering Learning via Participation in    Humanitarian FOSS Projects,” 119th Association for Engineering Education Annual Conference and Exposition, San    Antonio, TX, June 2012.[3] Ellis, H.J.C., Jackson, S., Hislop, G., Burdge, D., and Postner, L., “Learning Within a Professional Environment: Shared    Ownership of an HFOSS Project,” Proceedings of the 15th Annual Conference on Special Interest Group for Information    Technology Education 2014 Conference, Atlanta, GA, Oct. 2014.[4] www.foss2serve.org
