Abstract

This paper presents an approach to incorporate PSP (Personal Software Process) into a traditional software engineering course that is typically contained within a computer science curriculum. Advantages and disadvantages of similar approaches are discussed. The approach has been implemented twice in an undergraduate course at the University of Memphis. This successful experience is described and gives support that the proposed approach is beneficial to both students and educators
