Integrating software engineering into an intermediate programming class

Published: 01 February 1988 Publication History

Abstract

The emphasis on software engineering topics in the newest report on the second computer science class will have considerable impact on computer science education. Teaching issues arising from the incorporation of software engineering topics are discussed. Ideas for projects and group activities, together with approaches to encourage students to include ease of maintenance and user-friendly interfaces are provided.
