Title
Industry in the Classroom: Equipping Students with Real-World Experience A reflection on the effects of industry partnered projects on computing education
Abstract
This paper reports a software engineering class focused around experiential learning through an industry-partnered project. It includes a student's perspective on the class experience. The authors argue that software engineering classes that only utilize trivial homework neglect crucial software development soft skills and fail to prepare students for industry employment. By focusing the courses around and industry-partnered project, students were able to integrate the fundamental concepts of software engineering while being equipped with real-world experience. The authors believe the proposed approach allows students to be better equipped for the industry and provides them valuable experience in their future career.
