Applying competition‐based learning to agile software engineering

Abstract

Software engineering means applying engineering principles to software development. In the same way, agile software engineering means applying agile approaches to software engineering. Software engineering courses try to teach software development life cycle using project‐based approaches. Also, they endeavor to include real life issues of software engineering to the courses. Moreover, they struggle to teach teamwork in software development because it is a requirement of the real life software development. In robotics education, competition‐based learning is efficiently used for years. Competitions can be organized in teams and real‐world issues can be simulated with them. In this work, a competition‐based learning approach is applied in an agile software engineering course to increase the efficiency of teaching software engineering, and the results of the approach are presented. Real‐world issues of agile software development are simulated using competition‐based setting. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Agile Teaching Framework for Music Education Software Development Curriculum Based on Deep Learning

“…where ρ is the total wavelength of the signal; as a result, if the signal's time delay is known, the signal's direction can be calculated using equation (3), which is the fundamental of efficient spectrum estimation approaches. Equation ( 4) represents how the eigenvectors of the matrix D x are arranged according to their size.…”

“…Music educators have the ability and the responsibility to provide a world-class musical education to their students and colleagues, regardless of their background. If they want to be at the forefront of creative pedagogical practices, they must acknowledge and embrace the past, present, and future of music education [3]. Traditional educational methodologies and teaching preferences may no longer be acceptable in the field of music education, which is only now beginning to grapple with these new developments and concerns.…”
