This article proposes an approach based on experiments to teach optimization technique (OT) courses in the Systems Engineering curricula at undergraduate level. Artificial intelligence techniques in terms of nature-inspired optimization algorithms and neural networks are inserted in the lecture and laboratory parts of the syllabus. The experiments…

Software process modeling (SPM) is an important area of software engineering because it provides a basis for managing, automating, and supporting software process improvement (SPI). Teaching SPM is a challenging task, mainly because it lays great emphasis on theory and offers few practical exercises. Furthermore, as yet few teaching approaches…
