Components of Typical Undergraduate Software Engineering Courses: Results from a Survey

Twenty dirty tricks to train software engineers

“…Group project work is very common in university education, and often the groups work on realistic software developments [3,5,8,11], so what was new in the Plessey and Loughborough University real world projects? The difference lay in the lengths taken to make the students experience the most adverse aspects of software development encountered in the real world [4].…”

Meeting the training needs of practicing software engineers at texas instruments

“…Ninety-five universities (48%) responded to the survey. Similar results are reported in the Leventhal article [3].…”

Teaching software engineering and software project management: An integrated and practical approach

“…Concerning quality planning and control, students used the quality model of the ISO 9126 standard 20 and different direct and indirect product and process metrics to analyse the developed systems. Concerning the characteristic functionality, in almost all projects (91%) students analysed the suitability considering the functional coverage (i.e., the ratio between implemented use cases and documented use cases).…”

“…In addition, in several projects, students also analysed the comprehensibility of the system by verifying the presence of useful help messages. In one system, the manager also applied the Nielsen's heuristics [20] to analyze the usability of the developed system.
