Abstract:
The Botho College Software engineering curriculum
has been running for quite some time now since 1997
up to date. Over the years we have seen considerable
discrepancies or inconsistencies with regards to the
results of Software Engineering Undergraduate
Students. It therefore struck to our mind that we ought
to investigate and analyze these results in the context
of our own teaching and learning scenario. We found
that the delivery mode, the learning styles being
employed, the nature of the curriculum itself, the
infrastructure in place, the environment in general in
terms of the job market and other challenges have a
direct bearing on the performance of Software
engineering students. We found these challenges to
be the nucleus of factors that impinge upon SE
program of study outcomes at the Institution.
This white paper goes on further to suggest a
framework that can be employed to improve the
quality of results in light of all the categories of
challenges being faced by the students as well as by
the educators at Botho College. The Student
Feedback system was used to gather views from
students. Motivational skills will be devised so as to
plot the way
