Recent publications indicate the importance of software engineering in the computer science curriculum. In this paper, we present the final part of software engineering education at University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Vaxjo University in Sweden, where student teams perform an industrial software development project. It furthermore presents the main educational problems encountered in such real-life projects and explains how this international course addresses these problems. The main contribution of this paper is a set of seven good practices for project based software engineering education.

Evolution of variability is a key factor in the successful exploitation of commonalities in software product families. Assessment of variability can be used to determine how the variability provided by a product family should evolve. We present COSVAM (COVAMOF software variability assessment method), a variability assessment technique that specifically addresses evolution of variability. We exemplify our approach with the Dacolian case study.
