Abstract Software engineering courses in computer-science departments are meant to prepare students for the practice of designing, developing, understanding and maintaining software in the real world. The effectiveness of these courses have potentially a tremendous impact on the software industry, since it is through these courses that students must learn the state-of-the-art process and the tools of their eventual" trade", so that they can bring this knowledge to their job and thus advance the actual state of practice. The value of" ...

Professional software developers use version control systems to coordinate their work, and to provide an unwindable history of their project's evolution. In contrast, students in most programming courses use a homegrown electronic submission program to submit their work, and email to coordinate with partners when doing team projects. In May 2003, we began using CVS, a popular open source version control system, as an assignment submission system. Students receive starter code by checking out the assignment, use the version control system to manage their work, and submit their assignment by committing it to CVS. Teaching assistants grade assignments by checking out each student's repository, and committing the marks. Our experience to date shows that this is both a simpler and a more flexible way to manage student assignments, and also an excellent way to teach them how to use a fundamental software development tool.

DrProject is a web-based software project management portal that integrates revision control, issue tracking, mailing lists, a wiki, and other features. Unlike other such systems, DrProject is specifically tailored to the needs of undergraduate teaching and team programming assignments. We describe the pedagogical motivations for DrProject and our experiences with it to date.
