Consolidation of a professional approach experience on motivating Computer Engineering students to the application of legal issues

Abstract

[EN] In previous courses, professors of the degree of Computer Science and Software Engineering of the University of Zaragoza realised that students did not like studying materias related to Legislation and Information Systems. However, these topics are key when Computers Science and Software Engineers have to analyse, design, implement, and mantain Information Systems in different environments such as an enterprise, a public entity, etc. because the rights of the users/clients of these systems must be guaranteed. So, a more appeling way to teach those topics to motivate the students to take them into account was designed. This paper describes the methodology and the main activities designed in the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 courses in order to get the attention of the students on topics related to the current Spanish legislation and Information Systems. Moreover, some indicators about the performance of the students and their opinions about this new methodology are also described and analysed.Lozano, M.; Trillo-Lado, R. (2016).
