<p>The 2009 award was presented at the Premier Award Ceremony at the <a title="FIE 2009" href="http://fie-conference.org/fie2009/" target="_blank">Frontiers in Education Conference</a>, held last year in in San Antonio, Texas. The award-winning courseware was distributed on CD ROM at the FIE Conference and is also available online.This year&#8217;s panel of judges comprised a diverse cross-section of experts in engineering education and interactive media.

The direct, graphical feedback enables students to learn the complex cause and effect relationships underlying software engineering processes. During the game, the student takes on the role of the project manager and directs engineers to perform typical process tasks. <em>SimSE</em> helps bridge the gap between the conceptual knowledge about software engineering that is presented in lecture but that often times is not fully explored or practiced in assignments or projects. <em>SimSE </em>includes a customizable modeling environment that allows instructors to create new scenarios, application domains, organizations and cultures. <em>SimSE </em>has been used worldwide and has been found to be an educationally effective tool that increases students’ understanding of software engineering process concepts. Professor Emily Navarro was joined by professor André van der Hoek, both from the University of California at Irvine, in developing this award winning courseware.</p>

The direct, graphical feedback enables students to learn the complex cause and effect relationships underlying software engineering processes. During the game, the student takes on the role of the project manager and directs engineers to perform typical process tasks. <em>SimSE</em> helps bridge the gap between the conceptual knowledge about software engineering that is presented in lecture but that often times is not fully explored or practiced in assignments or projects. <em>SimSE </em>includes a customizable modeling environment that allows instructors to create new scenarios, application domains, organizations and cultures. <em>SimSE </em>has been used worldwide and has been found to be an educationally effective tool that increases students’ understanding of software engineering process concepts. Professor Emily Navarro was joined by professor André van der Hoek, both from the University of California at Irvine, in developing this award winning courseware.</p>
