Reinforcing practice teaching of Software Engineering for fostering the creative talent

Software Engineering offers vast variety of methods and tools for improving the quality of software development and possesses comprehensive and highly practical characters. Traditional teaching method does not work well for Software Engineerining course in the third colleges. With further researching on teaching practice of Software Engineering course, this paper presents four measures to strength practice teaching, i.e., revising teaching syllabus, case study based on small project, increasing practice time and strengthening course design, and inspiring Students' interest and improving teachers' ability. Through experiments in recent five years, these approaches can make student comprehend and master theories of Software Engineering better, enhance their creative spirits and practice ability, promote their competitiveness of employment, and improve teaching effect and teaching quality.
