Theproposed approach focuses mainly on course requirements including increasing the interaction between instructor and project teammembers; providing better and fair student/team performance assessment; encouraging students to practise life-cycle drivendevelopment; preparing students for role-based team-working; motivating students to communicate with experts from industry andsupporting cooperation between students. It is observed that implementation of the proposed approach increases the student coursesatisfaction level while higher quality student projects are achieved.
