Designing a First-Year Project Course to Engage Freshman Software Engineers: An Experience Report

摘要

This paper describes a software engineering project course for freshman. The course has been designed to engage and motivate software engineering students at the beginning of their matriculation, while at the same time providing solid software engineering content. Student teams use a simple software process based on Extreme Programming to complete a semesterlong project in computer animation. Course motivation, structure, and implementation are described.
