Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and Software Process Improvement (SPI) are
topics of crucial importance for software engineers; however, teaching them in
a lecture room comes with several limitations due to lack of practical
experience. With that in mind, we created KUALI-Brick, a LEGO(R)-based activity
that brings SQA and SPI concepts together applying them in order to
successfully build a LEGO city. This hands-on activity has been carried out in
a fourth-year Software Engineering course at the University of Canterbury, with
current results showing high levels of fun, increased engagement and an
improved learning experience. We present a step-by-step guide to replicate the
activity as well as lessons learned after conducting the activity for three
consecutive years.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, ICSE-JSEET 202
