A Curriculum-wide Software Development Case Study

软件工程（34）本项目的教材开发是基于对专业教育中案例研究技术的背景和有效性的研究。案例研究材料包括在开发现实世界中产生的构件，适度复杂的软件产品，如DigitalHome构件。项目方法集中于一个完整的开发生命周期，包括规划、分析和规范、设计、施工、测试和维护。该项目作为一个基础，全面的情况下，代表了专业软件系统设计的教学框架的全面发展。一个全面的软件案例研究是一个完美的机会，改变目前的自下而上的教学软件工程的方法，从编写小程序在第一年开始，并朝着一个中等规模的顶点在最后一年建设。案例研究的方法暴露学生，在非常早期的阶段，在开发现实的系统的问题，限制和需求。正在提供两个暑期教师讲习班，让其他教师参与项目材料的开发和使用。讲习班包括审议项目材料的评估，并涵盖各种教学和学习方式。他们提供项目材料的传播，并让教师参与解决如何最好地将真实世界的软件工程纳入课堂的问题。

Software Engineering (34) This project's development of teaching materials is based on research into the background and effectiveness of case study techniques in professional education. The case study materials include the artifacts produced in the development of a real-world, moderately complex software product such as DigitalHome artifacts. The project approach is concentrating on a complete developmental life cycle that includes planning, analysis and specification, design, construction, testing, and maintenance. The project serves as a foundation for the full development of comprehensive cases that represents a framework for the teaching of professional software systems design.A comprehensive software case study represents a perfect opportunity to alter the current bottom-up approach of teaching software engineering, starting with writing small programs in the first year and building toward a modest-sized capstone in the final year. A case-study approach exposes students, at a very early stage, to the problems, constraints, and needs in developing realistic systems. Two summer faculty workshops are being offered to involve other faculty in the development and use of the project materials. The workshops include consideration of assessment of the project materials and cover a variety of teaching and learning styles. They provide dissemination of the project materials and involve faculty in the solution to the problem of how to best include real-world software engineering in the classroom.
