Prototyping a Software Engineering Educational Community

软件工程（34）该项目建立了一个积极和富有成效的软件工程教育社区，其中大学将合作分享想法，工件，材料和经验。作为一个概念验证项目，它原型这样一个社区，通过建立佛罗里达大西洋大学和弗吉尼亚大学之间在这一领域的联合活动来评估这一想法的可行性。为了实现为本科生提供软件工程教育经验的既定目标，以便更好地为他们在工业和政府中开发大型复杂系统做好准备，该项目正在寻求更好的方法，使教育工作者能够合作开发和测试教育材料。重点是社区建设，方法是：a）开发课程材料和分享这些材料的技术; B）开发方法，使昂贵的硬件组件可以在互联网上共享，从而使更多的学生更容易获得这些设备。两所大学现有的教学工件正在研究，看看他们如何能够成功地适应软件工程教育社区的其他成员使用。现有的课堂工件和以前由PI开发的练习将被增强以供共享使用。弗吉尼亚大学使用的移动的机器人硬件和软件配置将被修改，以便佛罗里达大西洋大学的学生开发软件，通过网络远程操作机器人。两所大学的软件开发课程也在使用网络摄像机进行类似的实验。该项目建立在两所大学之间现有的合作基础上，以帮助确定如何扩大多机构的努力，以产生全国性的影响。它直接涉及教师发展和新技术融入本科教育的主题。

Software Engineering (34)This project establishes an active and productive software engineering education community in which universities will cooperate to share ideas, artifacts, materials and experience. As a proof-of-concept project, it prototypes such a community to evaluate the feasibility of the idea by establishing joint activities in this area between Florida Atlantic University and the University of Virginia. To achieve the stated goal of providing educational experiences in software engineering to undergraduate students in order to better prepare them to develop large and complex systems in industry and government, the project is seeking better ways to allow educators to collaborative develop and test educational materials. The focus is on community building by a) developing curricular materials and techniques for sharing them and b) developing methods whereby expensive hardware components can be shared across the internet, thus improving accessibility of such equipment to more students. Existing teaching artifacts at both universities are being studied to see how they can be successfully adapted for use by other members of the software engineering education community. Existing classroom artifacts and exercises previously developed by the PI's will be enhanced for shared use. Mobile robot hardware and software configurations used at the University of Virginia will be modified so that students at Florida Atlantic University an develop software to operate the robots remotely over the network. Similar experiments with networked video cameras (webcams) are being used in software development courses at both universities. This project builds upon an existing collaboration between the two universities to help determine how multi-institution efforts can be expanded to make a national impact. It directly addresses the themes of faculty development and the integration of new technologies into undergraduate education.
