Many computer science programs have capstone experiences or project courses that allow students to integrate knowledge from the full breadth of their major. Such capstone projects may be student-designed, instructor-designed, designed in conjunction with outside companies, or integrated with ongoing free and open source (FOSS) projects. The…

Schneider, Kurt; Liskin, Olga; Paulsen, Hilko; Kauffeld, Simone – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2015
This article investigates relationships between media, mood, and communication in teams, and studies how they are related to project success. Team projects are an essential part of the software engineering curriculum. Student teams carry out full software projects, including requirements elicitation, project management, implementation, and…

Marshall, Linda; Pieterse, Vreda; Thompson, Lisa; Venter, Dina M. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2016
Employers require software engineers to work in teams when developing software systems. It is therefore important for graduates to have experienced teamwork before they enter the job market. We describe an experiential learning exercise that we designed to teach the software engineering process in conjunction with teamwork skills. The underlying…

Borstler, Jurgen; Hilburn, Thomas B. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2016
Team projects are a way to expose students to conflicting project objectives, and "[t]here should be a strong real-world element...to ensure that the experience is realistic" [ACM/IEEE-CS 2015b]. Team projects provide an opportunity for students to put their education into practice and prepare them for their professional careers. The aim…

Vivian, Rebecca; Falkner, Katrina; Falkner, Nickolas; Tarmazdi, Hamid – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2016
Although teamwork has been identified as an essential skill for Computer Science (CS) graduates, these skills are identified as lacking by industry employers, which suggests a need for more proactive measures to teach and assess teamwork. In one CS course, students worked in teams to create a wiki solution to problem-based questions. Through a…
