Abstract

This paper proposes an active learning-based design approach to senior graduation project courses for computing curricula. The proposed approach focuses mainly on course requirements including increasing the interaction between instructor and project team members; providing better and fair student/team performance assessment; encouraging students to practise life-cycle driven development; preparing students for role-based team-working; motivating students to communicate with experts from industry and supporting cooperation between students. It is observed that implementation of the proposed approach increases the student course satisfaction level while higher quality student projects are achieved. © 2010 TEMPUS Publications.
