Abstract

This paper describes experiences and lessons learned at an ABET accredited software engineering program with respect to students at the undergraduate and graduate levels studying and/or researching the application of software engineering techniques. Examples of successful interactions are provided as well as the rationale for including industry experience. Disadvantages of such interactions are also included when appropriate.
