Sustained Service Learning in Software Engineering Project Courses

We are developing an educational software process that facilitates cross-term, cross-team project development. This software process will assist students in single-term software project classes to work on larger, real-world service-learning software projects, which will help students appreciate the value of software engineering principles and techniques.
