“…Other approaches, such as the one described in [12], have been implemented to foster a better preparation of students by assigning roles to students so that they gain experience with the importance of those roles for the development process of a software project. In these approaches, teachers play the client role and provide support as external consultants, applying theoretical concepts in practical activities to prepare them for the roles they will have in the IT industry.…”

Several approaches have been proposed to reduce the gap between software engineering education and the needs and practices of the software industry. Many of them aim to promote a more active learning attitude in students and provide them with more realistic experiences, thus recreating industry software development environments and collaborative development and, in some cases, with the involvement of companies mainly acting as potential customers. Since many degree courses typically offer separate subjects to teach requirements engineering, analysis and design, coding, or validation, the integration of all these phases normally necessitates experience in a project context and is usually carried out in a final year project. The approach described in this article benefits from the close involvement of a software house company which goes beyond the common involvement of a potential customer. Students are integrated into distributed teams comprising students, teachers and IT professionals. Teams follow the agile Scrum methodology and use the OutSystems low-code development platform providing students with the experience of an almost real scenario. The results show that this approach complements the knowledge and practice acquired in course subjects, develops the students’ technical and non-technical skills, such as commitment, teamwork, and communication, and initiates them in the methodologies and development strategies used in these companies. The feedback from the teachers involved, software companies and students was very positive.

Software project management (SPM) is a significant field, related to the discipline of software engineering, which has attracted a huge number of researchers and practitioners in recent years. The role of software project management education (SPME) is essential to instill appropriate competencies in SPM students so that they could be able to deliver effectively in the software industry as SPM professionals. As the demand of SPM professionals is continuously increasing, the responsibilities of academia have also been increased to ensure and provide the solid basis and quality education to SPM. In this context, a number of methods and tools have been deliberated to examine SPME from various dimensions. The usefulness of these methods and tools need to be synthesized and evaluated to investigate the areas that could be used to improve the various aspects of SPME. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the techniques that have been applied to teach SPME and identify the future directions that could lead to make improvements in SPME. This article presents a review of eighty-nine research papers of SPME that have been classified and synthesized according to different aspects of SPME. These aspects include type and approach of conducted research, empirical type, SPM knowledge areas, and curricula. The principal findings emerged after analyzing the results of reviewing the SPME research have been discussed in detail. Lastly, a list of advice to SPM instructors, based on the prominent and effective practices of SPME, has also been presented in this study.

“…Para sanar as deficiências apontadas pela literatura, em especial a falta de inserção de atividades práticas no ensino, trabalhos têm sido propostos (GNATZ et al, 2003;SMITH, 2012;NGUYEN;TRUONG;LE, 2013;GARCIA et al, 2015;YUEN, 2015;MCCARTNEY, 2014). Marques, Quispe e Ochoa (2014) realizaram um mapeamento sistemático em que identificam as abordagens mais utilizadas nas experiências práticas no ensino de Engenharia de Software.…”
