An international common project: implementation phase

To better prepare students to work in globally distributed organizations, to develop effective communication skills to deal with the communication barriers that are inherent in such settings and to provide students with the opportunity to be involved in a complete software development cycle of a "real-world" project, from design to integration and testing, we have developed a course based on an "International Common Project" (ICP) model [3] of the US-EC (European Community) Consortium "Towards a Common Computer Science Curriculum and Mutual Degree Recognition" [1]. The course is scheduled for the Spring Semester, 2001, and Towson University, Maryland, USA and Evry University, France, will participate in this project.
