一句话：通过主题分析学生小组的学习制品，识别软件工程顶点项目中培养的项目管理技能及其提升空间。
该研究探讨软件工程教育中产业驱动的顶点项目如何促进学生项目管理技能的发展。顶点项目连接学术界与工业界，让学生应对真实挑战，并培养时间管理、项目规划、决策和风险管理等能力。作者对学生小组提供的学习制品进行主题分析，结合归纳与演绎的定性方法，识别出学生在项目中展现的规划、目标设定以及应对挑战的适应性等关键技能。结果显示顶点项目在培养这些能力方面有效，但也指出技能发展仍可进一步加强。研究强调此类项目对帮助学生适应专业软件工程需求的价值。
Capstone projects play a vital role in software engineering education, offering students practical experience in addressing real-world challenges while bridging the gap between academia and industry. These projects enable students to develop essential project management skills, including time management, project planning, decision-making, and risk management, which are crucial for navigating the complexities of modern software development. This study explores the development of project management skills among university students participating in software engineering capstone projects. Through a thematic analysis of the learning artifacts provided by student groups, the study identifies the key skills developed during these projects. The qualitative analysis, combining inductive and deductive approaches, reveals how students demonstrated planning, goal setting, and adaptability in response to challenges. While the findings highlight the effectiveness of capstone projects in fostering these competencies, they also identify areas where skill development can be further enhanced. These insights underscore the value of capstone projects in preparing students for the demands of professional software engineering.
