Abstract

We describe how a study of the SEI's Capability Maturity Model led us to change the structure and content of a project-intensive introductory graduate course sequence in software engineering. A brief review of the Capability Model is followed by an assessment of our software process as it previously existed. We then present some of the changes that were introduced and how they seem to have benefited the students.
