Abstract

We summarise our experiences in teaching two formal methods courses at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. The first course is a JML-based software engineering course. The second course is a model-driven software engineering course realised in the B method for software development. We explain how formal methods are promoted in Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, how we motivate students to embrace formal methods techniques, and how they are promoted through the presentation of motivating examples.
