Ages - An Interdisciplinary Space Based On Projects For Software Engineering Learning

The Software Engineering education faces the challenge of qualifying professionals with competence to work in an interdisciplinary way and in teams, with flexibility to perform different roles and capable of adapting to change. This article describes AGES (Agencia Experimental de Engenharia de Software), which is part of the curriculum of the new Software Engineering undergraduate program of PUCRS. AGES is a space that allows students to apply their knowledge in an integrated and diversified way. They participate in teams engaged in real projects. We present the assumptions, the implementation process of AGES, its status and lessons learned until now.
