“…(Bruegge, 1992, Jacquot et al, 1990, and McMillan & Rajaprabhakaran, 1999, also take this view.) It should be of a nature that ensures that a high-flier cannot complete the project himself (King, 1989), yet there is a danger that, if the problem is too large, the students will abandon software engineering techniques and hack the program together to complete the project (McMillan & Rajaprabhakaran, 1999). • The group should be sufficiently large to ensure that it has to be managed, and have sufficient people to provide an adequate skill base.…”

This paper reports on the introduction of a large-scale software engineering group project (in excess of 8 students per group) into the modular undergraduate degree scheme at the University of the West of England, Bristol. The approach taken aims to provide an experience of the coherent nature of software engineering and to develop project and group management skills in undergraduate students. A representational model of this approach is described, together with its implementation.
