Students who complete an undergraduate computing degree still must learn too many new tasks and concepts when they join a company that uses modern software engineering practices. We will establish a laboratory to support team projects for two undergraduate software engineering courses for computer science and engineering majors. Exercises and projects based on the lab's software and hardware will allow students to experience development activities that are closer to a realistic industrial experience in these areas: a defined standard software development process, complete with policies, document standards, and reviews; the use of modern development tools, including configuration management and defect tracking tools to help in managing team projects. For our laboratory we will also develop a set of exercises and small projects in other areas of software engineering that will benefit our students and students at other universities. Areas addressed will include rapid prototyping, software testing, formal methods, and process improvement. To establish this laboratory, personal computers, software development tools and other CASE tools are needed. To aid in dissemination of our results, we will make use of software that is commonly available and relatively inexpensive (or free) for universities, including components of Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visual Studio.

完成计算机本科学位的学生在加入使用现代软件工程实践的公司时，仍然必须学习太多的新任务和概念。我们将建立一个实验室，以支持计算机科学和工程专业的两个本科软件工程课程的团队项目。基于实验室的软件和硬件的练习和项目将使学生体验更接近这些领域的现实工业经验的开发活动：定义的标准软件开发过程，包括政策，文档标准和审查;使用现代开发工具，包括配置管理和缺陷跟踪工具，以帮助管理团队项目。 对于我们的实验室，我们还将在软件工程的其他领域开发一套练习和小项目，这将使我们的学生和其他大学的学生受益。所涉及的领域包括快速原型设计、软件测试、正式方法和过程改进。为了建立这个实验室，需要个人计算机、软件开发工具和其他CASE工具。为了帮助传播我们的研究结果，我们将使用大学常用且相对便宜（或免费）的软件，包括Microsoft Office和Microsoft Visual Studio的组件。
