Integrated Teaching of Software Quality Management and Applied Software Engineering as an Interdisciplinary Education Model: An Experience Report in Undergraduate Education
Abstract
The teaching-learning process of disciplines related to software quality can be a difficult task because of the abstract nature of the concepts involved. This paper presents the experience of applying an interdisciplinary approach between the disciplines Software Quality Management (SQM) and Applied Software Engineering (ASE), where the processes, projects and products developed in ASE course were evaluated by students of SQM. 38 students were involved in this experience, evaluating 5 real projects. It was possible to observe that setting content was better understood by the students, the approval of the teaching method applied, and an improvement of students’ background targeting the software industry.
