Abstract

As part of globalizing education, the Linnaeus-Palme programme offers universities to exchange lecturers. Two departments coming from China and Sweden utilized this opportunity. A Swedish professor gave a course on software lifecycle management in China. In this paper, we report on a teaching experience gained during this programme. This experience indicates that there are no national boundaries when teaching software engineering. It also provides an important point of reference for improving current educational exchange programmes.
