Abstract

Instruction in the theory and practice of the System Design Life Cycle is a significant component of introductory software engineering courses. In this study, project development pressures and management realities, which imitate those found in an industrial setting, were used to enhance student team projects. This paper examines the results of those constraints and presents an assessment of student experiences.
