Abstract
In 2005, Polytechnique Montréal introduced project-based learning (PBL) in its curriculum. The second-year integrative project for computer and software engineering students is software-oriented, as the main goal is to develop an interactive graphical software application. Students are given a software requirements specification (SRS), which details every feature the application must comply to. The students must then implement these features, starting from a provided framework, and various common software libraries. The main technical concepts integrated in the project are software design patterns, computer graphics, unit testing, and user interface design. Students are also provided with tools to put into practice project management concepts such as scope management, time management, cost management, and risk management. The second-year project is also a good opportunity for students to develop their non-technical skills, such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking.
