Domínguez, César; Jaime, Arturo; García-Izquierdo, Francisco José; Olarte, Juan José – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
A capstone project is an extensive learning experience traditionally developed during a student's final academic year. Assessing such a complex assignment involves several challenges and is usually based upon the evaluations of at least two different people: the capstone project advisor, and one or more other assessors. Quantitative studies…

Krusche, Stephan; Dzvonyar, Dora; Xu, Han; Bruegge, Bernd – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
Modern capstone courses use agile methods to deliver and demonstrate software early in the project. However, a simple demonstration of functional and static aspects does not provide real-world software usage context, although this is integral to understand software requirements. Software engineering involves capabilities such as creativity,…

Steghöfer, Jan-Philipp; Burden, Håkan; Hebig, Regina; Calikli, Gul; Feldt, Robert; Hammouda, Imed; Horkoff, Jennifer; Knauss, Eric; Liebel, Grischa – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
Problem: The involvement of external stakeholders in capstone projects and project courses is desirable due to its potential positive effects on the students. Capstone projects particularly profit from the inclusion of an industrial partner to make the project relevant and help students acquire professional skills. In addition, an increasing push…

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…
