Many facets of your software engineering education plea are incorporated
in Professor Walt Scacchi's System Factory project at the University
of Southern California.  In the SF, large groups of students work cooperatively
for several months to redo components of a software engineering environment
taking advantage of new technology or extending the environment's capabilities.
A massive amount of software has been generated, including some novel
approaches to maintaining software documents in hypertext and to module
interconnection languages. 

Articles have appeared in: IEEE TSE, March 1987; 1986 Hawaii Systems Conference;
the SoftFair proceedings, 1985; Education and Computing, 1987; just to
cite a few. A technology transfer perspective appears in MCC TR STP-309-87.
Scacchi's net address is SCACCHI@vaxa.isi.edu.
