Abstract

Two years ago, like many others, our Computer Science program made the switch from Pascal to C++. As we had in the past, we continued the practice of teaching some principles of software engineering in the second course. Because students were working primarily on small projects, they were not seeing the need for the design techniques I was presenting. I decided to devise a semester-long project through which I could illustrate not only the use of standard data structures but also the need for employing principles of software engineering.
