Abstract

Software development is a challenging and complex endeavor. In many software projects today, the challenge and complexity come from dealing with issues related to integration and code re-usability more than issues of algorithm complexity or the typical set of topics covered in a course on Software Engineering. In this paper, we describe a Software Engineering class project where real world, production environment concerns and issues are brought to the fore and concerns relating to teachable classroom topics, while present, do not dominate.
