Software Engineering Education by Example

Abstract

Based on the old but famous distinction between "in the small" and "in the large" software development, at Nancy Université, UHP Nancy 1, we experience for a while software engineering education thanks to actual project engineering. This education method has the merit to enable students to discover and to overcome actual problems when faced to a large project which may be conducted by a large development team. The mode of education is a simulation of an actual software engineering project as encountered in "real lifeé" activities.
