Before Class:
Spend some time thinking about (and
researching) what software engineering is and how it is reflected in our world.
Compile these thoughts and information info a word doc with URLs, text, etc.
and submit it to myCourses by the noon on the Wednesday before class.
Class Plan:
- Researching Software Engineering
Activity with a focus on assigned Application Domain
- Instructor Slides Sample (15
minutes prior to end of class)
- Homework Assignment
Activity:
- Divide up class into teams of 3
students. Instructor will assign each team a SE Dept. Application Domain
- Each team is to create a creative
slideshow or flyer presenting to a general audience. (For example, you
are returning to your high school's engineering night to explain what
Software Engineering is about)
- What is software engineering and
how does it differ from other computing fields?
- How is software engineering
reflected in the world around us?
- How does our field respond to
and/or contribute to a continuously changing world in the context of
the assigned Application Domain
- What careers exist in software
engineering for assigned Application Domain?
- What are examples of companies
(besides obvious ones like Microsoft) that hire software engineers for
assigned Application Domain?
- RIT Policy
on Academic Dishonesty including plagiarism
- Cite references appropriately for
any media and text used from sources. (how to cite in
the text and how to
create the reference list). There are tools out there to help you
(e.g. EasyBib, Citation Machine, EndNote, etc.). Look around and choose
one that meets your needs.
* If you don't
have references, then you will not get credit for the activity.
- If you do not finish in class,
then finish the activity outside of class and submit it to the myCourses
drop box "Activity- Week 2" by Wednesday at noon of
next week. Make sure to include the names of all the team participants
in the "Comments" area.
(*15 minutes prior to end of class)
Instructor Sample Slides - What Does It Mean to Engineer Software
Helpful tips:
Use appropriate sources for your
presentation. Is your source credible and appropriate for college-level work?
Here are some places to start:
Homework for Next class:
A few lucky teams will be
chosen "at random" to present their findings. Come prepared!
