Work in Progress - Motivating Students for Software Engineering

Tags: software engineering, project management, software, management

Overview In basic Computer Science courses, students learn to program small programs with pre-defined programming structures, by themselves. Since software engineering courses teach students to schedule, design, code, and test larger projects in groups, a paradigm shift is required in order for the students to even understand the need for such topics as UML and project management. This paper discusses how to mentally prepare students for such a change, by establishing values, and using reflection, integrity, and process improvement.
