Since its founding in 1989, the Studio-based Master of Software Engineering (MSE) Program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has been a trailblazer in advancing the practice of masters-level professional software engineering education. From its inception, the program was designed around a comprehensive development project, the Studio. The Studio provides students with a team-based, mentored, multi-semester...
Malawi Children's Village (MCV) operates a secondary school of approximately 560 students in Mangochi, Malawi, and its strategic goal is to add computer studies into its curriculum. The first step to achieving this goal is for MCV to establish and sustain a teachers-only computer lab. This case study examines the process by which a team of volunteers identified this as the first step, the team's recommendations...
The current state of the development of education in Ukraine in the field of information technology is analyzed. The ways of improving the efficiency of the educational training in the field of information technology are suggested.
There is currently a strong demand for Information and Communication Technologies professionals in Portugal. This demand requires that higher education institutions prepare their graduates adequately, not only in technical skills, but also in terms of the so-called soft skills. In this paper, we describe a strategy that is being implemented, in recent years, in two higher education Information and...
The software architecture is usually the first design artifact that addresses quality issues (e.g., performance, security). Also, the architecture is reference point for other development activities, e.g., coding and maintenance. Based on our experience teaching software engineering and architecture at different institutions and levels, we discuss what makes teaching software architecture difficult,...
The overall goal of our Software Engineering Teamwork Assessment and Prediction (SETAP) project is to develop effective machine-learning-based methods for assessment and early prediction of student learning effectiveness in software engineering teamwork. Specifically, we use the Random Forest (RF) machine learning (ML) method to predict the effectiveness of software engineering teamwork learning based...
The article presents the idea on development of low-cost electronic training boards for the study of microprocessor technologies. Training boards demonstrate the all capabilities of the micro-controller: work of i/o ports, serial communication, ADC, DC and stepper motor, two-line LCD display, temperature sensors, DC motor control, stepper motor control and etc.
Gamification and in particular game-based learning is significantly gaining ground during the latest decades. It expresses a different approach to education that is mixing education with gaming, aiming to enhance the learning experience with game mechanics and rules and to provide stronger motivations for lifelong learning. Many works have illustrated the benefits of learning while playing. This work...
With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), electronics devices are everywhere in our lives. This omnipresence implies a growing of security issues (data or identity theft, hostile takeover of sensitive equipments…). To counter security vulnerabilities, “Security by Design” methods are being developed. It advises to think about security from the beginning of the conception at both software and...
Traditional software engineering education approaches--in-class lectures, unsupervised homework assignments, and occasional projects--create many opportunities for distraction. To address this problem, the authors have employed an approach that treats software engineering education more like athletic training.
It is widely recognized that software process improvement (SPI) engineers need to be trained by software engineering groups to perform quality SPI activities. However, such engineers are required to have a wide range of skills, and therefore it is difficult to properly determine the scope and goal of training courses. To solve such problems, the group companies of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation have...
Software has been well-adopted in language education. The aim of this paper is to explore the application of voice editing software in pronunciation education. After an illustration of the theoretical support for the application of voice editing software in pronunciation education, GoldWave has been investigated as an example of such voice editing software through its functions, target users and application...
The Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment has created a suite of software collectively known as the XSEDE-compatible basic cluster (XCBC). It has been distributed as a Rocks Roll for some time. The same scientific and supporting packages are available as individual RPM packages as the XSEDE National Integration Toolkit (XNIT), so they can be downloaded and installed in portions as...
Lero's mission is to establish Ireland as a location synonymous with high quality software development through advanced research and smart collaboration, and through our education and outreach programme. An estimated 44,500 job openings are forecast in the ICT sector over the period to 2018. To ensure an adequate ICT skills supply pipeline, informing and effectively engaging relevant stake holders...
Effective teaching of teamwork skills in local and globally distributed Software Engineering (SE) teams is recognized as an important part of the education of current and future software engineers. Effective methods for assessment and early prediction of learning effectiveness in SE teamwork are not only a critical part of teaching but also of value in industrial training and project management. This...
The ICTWays Network focuses on the use of ICT to support Science teaching classrooms. After identifying existing hardware and software resources in European schools, existing ICT training procedures for teachers, available software for science teaching and current best practices, the partners are working on the development of a Community of Practice for Teachers, as well as providing local workshops...
The technical education in India has gone through a radical change after restructuring and deregulation. At one end more students are getting chance to become technical graduate but at the other end they are forced to face a lot of impedance and situations which are never conducive to their proper education of the technical field. This paper is an effort to throw a light upon various issues related...
This paper presents the results of an experiential study which was carried out following the completion of two two-day seminars, each one lasting six hours. The aim of these seminars was the training of prospective engineering educators in the use of the dynamic open-source software GeoGebra via simulation construction. According to the results, the students showed off the added value of the seminar...
LeanEO! is a 2-year Earth Observation education project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and developed by different European Institutions. Its main aim is to increase the understanding and knowledge of satellite data obtained from ESA missions and demonstrate how these can be used when faced with environmental problems in the real world. The project has developed hands-on training resources...
In this work, we propose a new mathematics training approach that improves knowledge conduct and reduces mistakes through the use of a tablet computer. The proposed system is designed to record a student's handwriting activities and to visualize distinctive differences between highly graded students' common problem-solving characteristics and general students in a side-by-side manner. Later, students...
