Abstract— A successful engineering education must possess a wide engineering disciplines and real-world skills. Software engineers have ability to apply several methods in practice. Engineering educators face a complementary and more challenging problem, how to effectively teach students about the whole software engineering process. An inverted classroom can be a solution to give the educational environment that mixes the use of technology with hands-on educational activities. Traditional instructor-led lessons are replaced by VOD using the time outside of the classroom. Lecture time was devoted to active learning activities that can be done such as design studio and game storming. For case study inverted classroom concept was applied to introductory software engineering course, and measured by controlled experiments. The experimental group was found to be effective in two aspects. Fast feedback through well made design heuristics of learning teamwork and good influence on the overall schedule for the project was.

Index Terms— Case study, inverted classroom, measurement of training effect, software engineering education.
