Communication and collaboration is difficult in geographically distributed settings. As a result of globalization, mergers and acquisitions, and scarce skills, software development projects are increasingly more distributed. Hence, teaching software engineering students how to cope with distribution becomes a critical issue. This paper describes our experience with teaching three distributed software engineering project courses. Students from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA and from Technische Universita/spl uml/t Mu/spl uml/nchen in Munich, Germany, collaborated to specify, design and realize software for a real client located at a third site. In doing so, students were exposed first hand to distribution issues, encountering challenges introduced by different cultures, languages, standards and time zones, and facing them with tools such as groupware, videoconferencing, distributed repositories and travel. We conclude this paper with the lessons we learned during these three experiences and the improvements we plan for our next distributed project course.
