Abstract

Didactic experiences are very important in a Software Engineering course. We think they help to achieve at least six objectives of the course: to identify fundamental concepts of software engineering, to recognize software life cycles, models and methodologies of software development, to perform analysis of software products requirements, to design and develop a software product, to use the methodical processes of a real-world project, and to implement solutions following specific methodologies. In this paper we will show our didactic experiences in the Software Engineering Processes course. We developed a sequence of learning activities and their application (extracted from real requirements of clients and users) in different contexts such as environmental, medical and social, which results in higher levels of learning, interdisciplinary exercises and practices close to what students will face in their professional lives.
