“…Although the MM approach was first used in computing and software engineering, its application has spread to various other fields (Santos-Neto & Costa 2019), such as supply chain management (McCormack, 2008), business process management (Lima et al, 2017), education (Bollin et al, 2018), agile process management (Nurdiani et al, 2019;Gren et al, 2015), and, as in this paper, PM (Neves et al, 2013;Crawford, 2006). PM is one of the approaches that stands out most in the MM literature.…”

This paper proposes a decision model for a maturity model choice problem via the multiple-criteria decision analysis method. The authors implemented the model in FITradeoff decision support system to select a project management maturity model for a Brazilian industry operating in the sector of distributing natural gas. FITradeoff is a flexible and interactive procedure of elicitation for multi-criteria additive models that requires only partial information from the decision maker (i.e., there is no need to elicit very detailed information from the decision maker, an approach that the decision maker can find laborious and tiring). The authors observed that the use of a multi-criteria approach imposes certain rigor and pattern on the decision process to select a maturity model in project management. Applying the model enabled comparison of information from the four maturity models and therefore selecting a project management maturity model based on the decision-maker preferences.

“…For example, [11,57] proposed FOSS in conjunction with industry projects to enhance students soft and technical skills. [58] proposed the use of a maturity model adopted from industry within a software engineering course. Many similar proposals showed a shift in the models adopted, long utilized in industry within the SEE curricula.…”

Contemporary approaches and trends in software engineering courses have been continuously updated over the last four decades. Adaptation to industry needs is crucial for future educational purposes and vice versa. Tech startups have become a driving force in the economy and a major industry trend. The goal of this paper is first to critically assess how contemporary industry trends and in particular, tech startups have influenced the updating of software engineering curricula. The second goal is to evaluate the contribution of industry and in particular, tech startups, processes and models in present learning approaches. The third goal addresses how stakeholders have helped in the infusion of industry trends and in particular, in tech startup approaches in academia. This study is a systematic literature mapping. A total of 138 papers were selected based on education goals, research, and contribution type. Of the primary education topics, 78% were related to teaching strategies, 9% to globalization and training methods, and less than 5% to tech startup and industry innovation. Common stakeholders accounting for the change are students, researchers, and lecturers and project managers, product owners, customers, and clients from industry. This study showed that industrial models or methods involving Agile and Scrum have been widely adopted. Less investigated areas that have recently become common industry trends, such as tech startup models adopting lean methodology, require further attention and might create opportunities for updating the curricula. We discuss future model possibilities for exploiting tech startups as a means for renewing future capstone courses. Index Terms-software engineering courses, teaching approaches, mapping study, tech startups

The paper is focused on the description of the newly created teaching aid designed to support auto-tutoring in the field of basics of automation for full-time and mainly for distance curriculum at the Faculty of Applied Informatics, Tomas Bata University in Zlin. It deals with the Laplace transform, the description of the properties of the linear systems and the description of the systems in the frequency domain including their characteristics in the form of the game. The game was tested by students and positively evaluated by them in the form of the questionnaire. The paper includes the brief theoretical background, the description of the game specification, the game implementation, the game from the user's point of view, the short examples of the source codes, and the results of the evaluation using the questionnaire.
