Abstract

There is a need to provide university courses and education materials focusing on the current, new generation of software design and development methodologies. These methodologies include both high-level modeling and automated, model-based software synthesis. In 2008, we created a new university course focused on Model-Driven Development. Based on the feedback from the students and our experiences, we have reworked the course material three times. In this paper, we present our initial thoughts, the evolution of the course and its final (current) form. We believe that in providing a detailed discussion on the evolution, the paper becomes more than a simple overview of a modeling course; it also gives a set of useful hints to avoid the dead ends and mistakes when creating such a course.
