YOOPEEDOO (UPEDU): A Process for Teaching Software Process

Process in software engineering is a growing concern for many software development organizations. The need for well-educated software engineers is bringing new software engineering programs to universities. In many programs, software process education adds up to a few hours of lectures in an introductory software engineering course. This paper presents the structure and the content for a full, one-semester course on software process, which has been designed in close collaboration with industry. The course is based on a software process call UPEDU, and has been customized from the RUP for the educational environment. Many artifacts derived from a project case study are used as examples or templates. The content of the course is oriented towards the cognitive skills needed to perform the various activities required of software process.
