Abstract

The education of Software Engineering at the universities is of fundamental importance for the training of professionals, becoming them well qualified and able to aggregate on the software organizations which they work. This is important, especially, when we consider the large opportunities and the high level of competitiveness of the market. However, when teaching knowledge related to software process, the transfer of information is no more sufficient, requiring the utilization of practical activities that can consolidate the content presented. This paper presents a playful experience at the University of Fortaleza, when were performed practical lessons, using legos, covering five processes of the MPS.BR.
