Abstract

An approach to teaching systems development is presented which integrates the teaching of the tools used in structured analysis with a systems development methodology. The students are taught about each tool at the place in the development methodology where it is first needed. Students apply the methodology in a semester long team project where they obtain experience applying the tools. This emphasizes the application of the tools and the students' learning of the mechanics of each tool.
