A Strategy for Effective Teaching of Software Engineering

The focus on the need for improvements and innovations in the environment and teaching practices is increasingly evident. Mainly in the courses of computer engineering, it is justified by the change of profile of the students and fast evolution of the technologies. This paper presents an academic software factory approach, used as an effective teaching strategy for Software Engineering. In this context, aspects of contributions to the profile of the Software Engineer in relation to interpersonal, specific and scientific skills and competences are discussed. Therefore, it characterizes a active methodology approach, as well as an alternative to enhance the relationship between teaching, research and university extension.
