Implementing a Personal Software Process (PSPSM) Course: A Case Study

Abstract

In order to remain competitive in software industry, software engineers need to continuously improve their proficiency. Personal Software Process (PSP SM) provides a strong concept which helps software engineers inspecting and improving themselves. Yet, when being applied on an undergraduate computer engineering course, several complex mathematical calculations from PSP official exercises could encumber the performance of students who do not possess adequate mathematics background. This paper reports a result of implementing PSP course for undergraduate computer engi-neering students in Chiang Mai University, Thailand.
