A System Engineering curriculum should involve elements or concepts that reflect a trend towards distinguishing the true software professional from the occasional programmer. In order to introduce some fundamental concepts in an early stage of a System Engineering career, this paper proposes the application of a global project in a second year, where students have to integrate the concepts learned and acquire the necessary skills to work in a professional environment. Also, the used methodology throughout the course, which introduces good design principles early in the career, is detailed. In particular, a global project which puts emphasis on reuse is presented.

Keywords: algorithm design techniques, programming teaching, software reusability, capstone project
