One Semester Team Projects in Systems Analysis, Software Engineering, and Software Project Management Courses

Team Projects in Software Engineering courses provide students exposure to real world problems, systematic ways to understand and specify problems, arrive at analysis, design models, and put together a system architecture for implementation. This paper explores one semester projects in Systems Analysis, Software Engineering, and Software Project Management courses offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels in Computer Science at the University of Dayton. All the courses are in continuum in the broader definition of Software Engineering and have one overlapping topic on use cases. The challenge is to focus on essential tools and techniques for a specific course, incorporate the latest technologies, and provide learning environments for acquiring knowledge and skill sets, and use them in team projects.
