A course flow model developed for software engineering course

Abstract

As in the rest of the world, many software projects in our country exceed the planned budget and time limits, and the user expectations are not fully met. One of the important reasons for this is the lack of work force that well-trained in software engineering domain. In this article, details of a course flow model and the results of the model for the CENG 396 Software Engineering course, which has been carried out in Çankaya University Department of Computer Engineering for the last four years, will be given. The aim of this study is to explain the lesson flow model which is designed to cultivate the appropriate software engineering and software engineers equipped to conditions in Turkey. In addition, the secondary aim is to share the results of the analysis of this study with other software engineer course instructors so that they can benefit from our experience and achievements.
