ABSTRACT
Millennials prefer learning-by-doing and social learning, and project-based learning. At the same time, software engineering educators should take into account that software development projects require not only technical skills but also creativity---Design Thinking can help in achieving the latter. We conducted a workshop, following the Design Thinking approach of the d.school, to help students generate ideas for a mobile app development project course. In addition to the details for implementing the workshop, we report our observations and lessons learned. Moreover, we provide suggestions for further implementation of Design Thinking in similar courses.

Combining mastery learning with project-based learning in a first programming course: an experience report
ICSE '15: Proceedings of the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering - Volume 2One of the challenges in teaching a first programming course is that in the same course, the students must learn basic programming techniques and high level abstraction abilities, and the application of those techniques and concepts in problem solving ...
The application of project-based learning in teachers' professional development program
ICIET '18: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Information and Education TechnologyTeachers' competencies are must. Teachers are expected to improve the learning process in the classroom and improve the quality of students as well. It means that the success of students depends on the teachers' competencies and these competencies ...
Learning from achievement: scaffolding student projects in software engineering
It has become almost a truism that students learn more from working on projects than from lectures. This is reflected in pedagogical approaches such as Problem-based Learning, Project-based Learning (PBL) and Work-based Learning. A problem in PBL, ...
