Description
Summary:This short paper describes an innovative project-based learning experience for Software Engineering Education and Training. A global software development project is currently underway to unite students from across the globe, with widely different backgrounds and learning objectives, in distinct project roles that are designed to leverage skill sets and foster overall quality and success. The background to this project is summarized in this paper, along with the motivation, set-up and governance model. A number of achievements from three years of sustained collaboration across the institutions make this educational model possible, and these are described together with the on-going challenges we are facing. © 2008 IEEE.
