Using Game Simulator Software Inc in the Software Engineering Education

Game Programming and XNA in Software Engineering Education

Game programming can help students gain practical experience with software engineering. Game programming covers a wide range of software engineering topics – including algorithms, data structures, team work, and software tools. Unfortunately, game programming usually involves many repetitive and time consuming tasks such as accessing hardware resources and managing game content. In this paper w...

SIMSE: An Interactive Simulation Game for Software Engineering Education

The typical software engineering education lacks a practical experience of the process of software engineering— students are presented with relevant process theory in lectures, but have limited opportunity to put these concepts into practice in an associated class project. SimSE is an educational, interactive, fully graphical computer game that simulates software engineering processes, and is d...

Software Reverse Engineering Education

Professional software Engineering Education

This paper is a speculation about how universities might organize new lines of business in software engineering professional education. Professional education enables practicing professionals to achieve defined levels of competence and to be certified according to standards in their professions. This kind of education is offered at very few universities. This paper proposes a conceptual framewo...

Putting the Engineering into Software Engineering Education

I recently read a paper about software engineering research,1 and once again discovered that its author, Lionel Brand, had published “my” ideas before I wrote them. Thankfully, his writing often stimulates further thinking, and this was no exception. His visionary thoughts on software engineering research started me thinking, but in terms of software engineering education rather than research. ...
