The Conventional instructional design methods using teacher-centered learning approaches provide few opportunities for students to be actively involved during the learning process. This process is not relevant to the characteristics of the Software Modeling course which ideally emphasizes student-centered learning. As a result, instructors cannot control the learning system efficiently, so students cannot reach the minimum competency standards planned in the learning design. In this work, we propose an instructional design model that integrates Problem-Based Learning (PBL) into the instructional deign of Software Modeling course. Three main elements of the PBL learning system model are proposed, namely: Elementary Curriculum that emphasizes the use of problems as the starting point of student learning; Element Group that emphasizes collaboration systems (group discussion-based learning); and Student Elements that emphasizes the Student-Directed Learning (SDL) system. The three main elements of PBL are applied thoroughly and proportionally to each particular learning topic in Software Modeling course. This concept is different from PBL concepts which have been widely applied as learning models, which do not apply the three main PBL elements to each learning topic. This concept is also designed to improve the weaknesses of the PBL model which only places individual learning in small portions, or even none at all. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method which consists of three main stages, namely: analysis of system requirements, system development, and formative evaluation. In formative evaluation we do the expert validation, one-to-one student evaluations, and small group evaluation to test the effectiveness of the system. The result of expert validation (related to content, instructional design, and media design) shows that the instructional media product based on PBL that is developed is very suitable to be used as a learning resource, with an average validation percentage of 83.2%. The students' responses to the one-to-one student evaluation and small group trials show that the instructional design products that are developed are feasible to make student actively involved during the learning process, with an average value (related to product display, Usability, and benefits aspects) reach 82.6%. The average level of mastery of students on certain topics reaches more than 96%.

A requirement is a capability to which a product or service should conform to. A meticulous consideration to requirements engineering acts as a backbone of software projects. Ambiguous and unrealistic requirements are major source of failure in the software-intensive systems. Requirements engineering processes are complex as most of the requirements engineering documentation is written in natural languages which are less formal and often distract the designers and developers. Requirements management is a continuous process throughout the project lifecycle and relates to documenting, analyzing, tracing and prioritizing requirements and then finally controlling changes. The main issues related to requirements management are usually social, political and cultural. Software requirement engineers who gather the requirements generally consider that such issues are beyond the scope of their profession as they deem them within the project management ambit. In this study, we highlight the management issues that arise in the requirements engineering process and explore the possibilities to tackle them amicably. The study is supplemented with a critical review of the existing methodologies for resolving and managing software requirements.

Abstract-Comprehensive requirement engineering (RE) process acts as a backbone of any successful project. RE processes are very complex because most of the requirement engineering documentation is written in natural languages, which are less formal and often distract the designers and developers of the system. To streamline different phases of the software lifecycle, first we need to model the requirement document so that we can analyze and integrate the software artifacts. Designers can ensure completeness and consistency of the system by generating models using the requirement documents. In this paper, we have made an attempt to analyze extreme programming based RE approach to understand its utility in the requirement elicitation phase. In this study, different RE process models are evaluated and a comparison of the extreme programming technique is drawn to highlight the merits of the latter technique over the conventional RE techniques.
