Software Engineering Lab with Integrated Software Tools

这个项目的目标是获得一套硬件和软件，这些硬件和软件将为面向项目的课程提供支持CASE（计算机辅助软件工程）工具的灵活性。该项目将购置五台具有UNIX操作系统和X-window协议的SUN工作站，以及适当的CASE软件工具。所选工具的实验手册将被开发，这将是一个教程性质的，目的是让学生尽快进入CASE工具环境。在没有CASE工具的情况下教授软件工程过程的最大缺点之一是，学生很难看到软件开发中迭代和控制过程的好处。这个软件工程实验室设置将允许强调这些过程，而不会给学生手动跟踪文档和工件带来不必要的负担。

The goal of this project is to acquire a set of hardware and software that will provide flexibility in supporting CASE (Computer-aided Software Engineering) tools for project- oriented courses. The project will acquire five SUN workstations with UNIX operating system and X-window protocol and appropriate CASE software tools. A laboratory manual for the selected tools will be developed which will be tutorial in nature with the purpose of getting the students into the CASE tool environment as quickly as possible. One of the biggest drawbacks with teaching software engineering process without CASE tools is that it is difficult for the students to see the benefits of the iteration and control processes in the software development. This software engineering laboratory setup will allow emphasis on these processes without undue burden on the students' part to manually track documents and artifacts.
