SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROCESS AND ITS IMPROVEMENT IN THE ACADEMY

Abstract

Changes in software technology and models for software development require commensurate change in the education of software developers. One way of teaching software engineering is to organize a course around a project similar to a real industrial project. The educational community itself is increasingly moving from lecture-format courses to team projects, problem-solving, direct involvement with actual development, and other formats that require students to exercise the ideas they are learning. In this paper we investigate the software engineering process improvement at Kaunas University of Technology to let students experience the realistic software engineering problems and environments during their software engineering education. Organizing the software engineering process we implemented some key practices of repeatable level of Capability Maturity Model.
