Nowadays, modern enterprises involve more and more graduated engineers in projects in which several persons from different origins, cultures and countries have to collaborate conjointly. In this vein, young professionals often underestimate the additional challenges and requirements tying in with this form of work.
Participants who take part in this seminar course will cooperate with other students from international universities by commonly working on a software engineering project during a period of approximately 2 months. In this context, international groups of 3-5 students are formed. Besides solving a task in the domain of software engineering, each student team has to leverage the project management methodologies in order to achieve the stated objectives. The complementary presentation and report sum up essential concepts and results of their work. As means of communication, the professional video conference systems hosted at the universities as well as personal computer and mobile software (e.g. Skype, Windows Messenger, netviewer, etc.) are used. The course lasts in the first half of the semester, starting at the beginning of the lecture period in October 2009 and finishing at mid of January 2010.
The practical course is embedded in the NEREID cooperation between the computing departements of the five universities listed below:
Each student team uses Tricia (Open Source Web Collaboration and Knowledge Management Software) as their main collaboration tool. The software provides wiki, messsaging, blog and file transfer functionalities allowing an easy and efficient cooperation among the team members.
NEREID is an acronym for Network of Engineering univeRsities Educating in Intercultural Design.
In the Greek mythology, the Nereids are fifty nymphs who dwell in the Mediterranean Sea. These beautiful women were always friendly and helpful towards sailors/navigators fighting perilous storms. Belonging to the retinue of Poseidon, they are believed to be able to prophesize.
Subsequent list contains all software engineering projects which are carried out by different student teams between October and December 2009.
