Abstract

Software engineering education has traditionally focussed on the development phase of the software life cycle. It is recognised that maintenance is the most expensive phase of the life cycle, yet it receives very little direct attention in the software engineering curriculum. This paper contrasts a development based approach with a maintenance based approach to project work in software engineering education.
