Abstract

Process in software engineering is a growing concern for many software development organizations. The need for well-educated software engineers is bringing new software engineering programs to universities. In many programs, software process education adds up to a few hours of lectures in an introductory software engineering course. This paper presents the structure and the content for a full, one-semester course on software process, which has been designed in close collaboration with industry. The course is based on a software process call UPEDU, and has been customized from the RUP for the educational environment. Many artifacts derived from a project case study are used as examples or templates. The content of the course is oriented towards the cognitive skills needed to perform the various activities required of software process. This material will be published in textbook format with CD by Pearsons in fall 2001.
