Software Engineering in the Liberal Arts: Combining Theory and Practice

摘要

This paper describes the organization of a junior/senior level software engineering class offered at Knox College, a small, selective liberal arts college. It presents the reasoning for the design of the course and gives some results from the course. The course is somewhat novel in that it uses non-standard texts, depends heavily on journal articles for a theory component, and requires a large amount of writing and individual and team oral presentations.
