Software Engineering is a crucial topic in undergraduate computing-related courses and provides the basic knowledge skills necessary for professional practice software industry. Teaching principles, concepts, practices relating them to real-world scenarios are challenging tasks, adoption of Open Source (OSS) projects can help face these challenges. On other hand, adopting OSS as didactic resour...

A recent major study on Engineering Education calls for centering 21 st century Engineering Education in professional practice 24 : ―[I]f students are to be prepared to enter new-century engineering, the center of engineering education should be professional practice, integrating technical knowledge and skills of practice.‖ Education policy bodies are increasingly cognizant that faculty and pro...

In this work, we present the results of research using the techniques for semantically-oriented statistical search for extracting mathematical terms for precalculus with applications to education, terminology and ontology. We offer the combination of statistically-based techniques incorporated in the software for extracting keywords, collocations and co-occurrences as the useful tools for teach...
