Abstract

Software engineering has become one of the fastest growing fields in computer technology due to the increasing cost of software development. Software engineering courses have been placed in many undergraduate Computer Science curriculums. This paper describes a project approach to teaching undergraduate software engineering where each group developed the same project. Advantages and disadvantages of the one-project approach based on the students' and the instructor's evaluation are discussed.
