Our department is planning to establish an instructional laboratory for CASE
(Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools.  This lab will be for graduate
and advanced undergraduate students.  Our budget is limited so we are looking
for advice on the most cost-effective software and hardware.

The hardware environment for this lab will almost certainly be 286-class
machines or Macs (hard disk, enough primary memory, decent monitor & mouse).
However, we don't expect to be able to afford Sun-Apollo class machines.
The software we are looking for includes tools for specification and design
(data flow, entity-relationship, HIPO, Warnier-Orr, Jackson, ... diagrams),
implementation (change and configuration control,  generic application
generation), testing, verification and validation, and project management
(PERT, milestones, and other scheduling, resource managment, ...).

Any suggestions about inexpensive, high-quality software (and hardware) would
be appreciated (especially public-domain software).  I would appreciate
hearing from other institutions with experience in setting up such a lab.
