Instructor’s Roles in Software Engineering Course Projects
نویسنده
چکیده
As a practice-oriented discipline, Software Engineering is most effectively taught by using a variety of hands-on experiences. Team-based projects where students can practice their technical and soft skills are a key feature of many software engineering courses aimed to prepare students for the realities of industrial software development. This paper surveys the objectives of software development projects in undergraduate courses and summarizes four roles in which the instructor can participate in student projects: a customer, an architect, a team manager, and a mentor. The paper is concluded with case studies illustrating the nature of these roles.

متن کاملRole Allocation and Scheme in Software Engineering Course Projects
Role is a set of behavioural actions and responsibilities one takes in a specific situation. We play different roles with our family, at work as well as in other environments. Differences among the role definitions reach mainly from the different emphasis of the software development method itself. Agile software development methods define roles to enhance communication and to produce a better p...
