Abstract
In this paper we describe the Software Engineering Group (SEG) work which is carried out by Durham’s second year puter Science students. We discuss what the initial infrastructure has been, the developments currently taking place in the form of electronic delivery and assessment of documentation using the roduction of an asynchronous repository BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work). Finally the paper outlines the future direction the SEG projects
will take.
Introduction
The SEG project is ongoing throughout the academic year and is intended to give students experience of a software production environment similar to that found in puter industry. We aim to encourage within student groups a co-operative approach to the project where each individual student is working as part of a design and implementation team working mon goals, meeting a series of tight deadlines and handling interpersonal problems which may arise out of team efforts.
Group assessment has previously been based on the delivery of a system and interim reports at variou
