Abstract

This paper describes an approach that can introduce some of the concepts of software engineering to all levels of computer science courses. The approach integrates the notions of top-down design, stepwise refinement, structured flowcharting, test case description, and analysis in the context of a methodology for systematically developing and documenting programs. Qualitative results from teaching these concepts are presented.
