  abstract =     "In screening and evaluating the background of
                 applicants for careers in data processing, a
                 considerable emphasis is placed on the ability of the
                 applicant to work as a member of a team. This is
                 because many required skills in data processing,
                 specifically in the commercial environment, can only be
                 obtained through individual work as a member of a team.
                 This paper focuses on a method for simulating the
                 business data processing environment through class
                 project teams. The simulation is demonstrated through a
                 discussion of the process of selecting the teams and
                 projects, the frequent problems faced by team members,
                 the background knowledge required, and the methods used
                 in evaluating the projects. The benefits that can be
                 derived by taking the programming team approach to the
                 design and implementation of computer systems have been
                 widely discussed in the literature [1, 2, 3]. This
                 approach is receiving increasing attention in the
                 commercial environment [4]. In addition, several new
                 system design techniques [5, 6, 7, 8, 9] are becoming
                 increasingly popular and the ideas of structured
                 programming [10, 11, 12] are widely known. We feel,
                 therefore, that an important part of the preparation
                 for a career in information processing should include
                 participation as a member of a programming and design
                 team. In this paper we demonstrate the methods that we
                 have used to create a project team environment in the
                 classroom. These methods are based on our commercial
                 experience and experience gained from conducting such
                 classes for a combined total of seven semesters.
                 Overall, the projects resulting from these team efforts
                 have been of high quality and the students' reactions
                 have been very favorable. The students from these
                 courses that sought careers in data processing were
                 able to find jobs rapidly. They have been highly
                 successful in their careers. In interviews with our
                 graduates they indicated that the experiences they
                 gained from the project team classes were main factors
                 in obtaining employment and the success they achieved
                 in their work.",
