Software Engineering as an industry is highly diverse in terms of developmentmethods and practices. Practitioners employ a myriad of methods and tend tofurther tailor them by e.g. omitting some practices or rules. This diversity indevelopment methods poses a challenge for software engineering education,creating a gap between education and industry. General theories such as theEssence Theory of Software Engineering can help bridge this gap by presentingsoftware engineering students with higher-level frameworks upon which to buildan understanding of software engineering methods and practical project work. Inthis paper, we study Essence in an educational setting to evaluate itsusefulness for software engineering students while also investigating barriersto its adoption in this context. To this end, we observe 102 student teamsutilize Essence in practical software engineering projects during a semesterlong, project-based course.
