“…The abstract and theoretical knowledge of the content make students cannot understand the course deeply, so students' learning motivation is not very strong. In order to grasp the principles of software project management, a lot of practical experience is required associate with theoretical knowledge in the textbook [4]. But most students have not chance to do the practical projects, so there is no concept of project management.…”

Abstract. Aim at the general problem of software project management curriculum, this paper proposes some reform ideas for the course teaching, including improve teaching mode, teaching methods. We use project-driven, scenario teaching, case studies teaching and large software project management simulating to enhance students' learning enthusiasm, transfer their passive learning to active learning. Result showed these methods have gained some good effect, improved the teaching quality.

“…The pattern of teaching could follow the recommendations of Gabriele Bavota, Andrea De Lucia, Fausto Fasano, Rocco Oliveto and Carlo Zottoli in [9] and Longjun Huang, Liping Dai, Bin Guo and Gang Lei in [10]. The theory could be taught in the classroom using case studies, while working on the implementation phase of the previous semester's project could be used to understand the shortcomings of working with partial knowlegde.…”

Abstract-The University of Mumbai is one of the oldest and renowned universities in India, catering to nearly 20,000 students in the Computer Engineering and Information Technology Engineering disciplines. This translates to approximately 12,000 qraduates entering the software industry. The structure of the coursework related to Software Engineering subjects -Software Engineering, Software Testing and Quality Assurance, Sofware Project Management and Software Architectures -relies heavily on theoretical classroom teaching. In this paper, we suggest changes to the structure of the coursework by shifting the focus to a project-oriented system, that will give the students a real-world-like experience of the Software Engineering subjects. Graduates with a higher level of practical experience of Software Engineering subjects is a win-win situation for everyone concerned, the software industry, the research institutes, and the students themselves.

“…For example, Bavota et al [3] and Maqsood and Javed [10] report on collaborations between graduate SPM courses and other undergraduate courses. Bavota et al describe the results of collaboratively teaching for several years an undergraduate software engineering course and a graduate SPM course, where the students from the graduate course act as managers for the students from the undergraduate course.…”

is an assistant professor of software engineering at Quinnipiac University. He has experience in teaching introductory computer science as well as upper-level software engineering courses, including software quality assurance, software project management, and software engineering in health care. His current research interests include improving the quality of human-intensive processes (HIPs), such as medical processes, with a focus on detecting human errors before harm is done and preventing such errors. He has used software engineering techniques to formally represent and analyze models of complex HIPs and industrial engineering techniques to elicit and validate models of such processes. He is also interested in human-computer interaction techniques for presenting information to assist process performers during an ongoing process. Stefan Christov holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Dr. Mark Hoffman, Quinnipiac UniversityMark Hoffman is a professor of computer science at Quinnipiac University. He joined the University in 2001 following a career in industry and has taught a wide variety of courses including data structures, computer architecture and organization, software development, and the senior capstone project. His research interests include communication and critical thinking skills in computer science education, and the impact of technology on work/home boundary management. He received his Ph.D. from Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY.c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Evaluating the Collaboration between a Software Project Management Course and a Software Development Course in Terms of Student Learning and Experience AbstractThe ability to manage software teams and the ability to productively interact with a project manager are important skills in many computing professions. The integration into the computer science and software engineering curricula of opportunities for students to learn and exercise these skills, however, could be challenging due to various logistical reasons. The work described in this paper evaluates a newly established collaboration between an undergraduate software engineering course on software project management and an undergraduate computer science course on software development in terms of student learning and experience. The contributions of this work are a methodology for evaluating such collaborations and some lessons learned from applying this methodology for one semester.
