Title: Software Engineering Programs


1
Software Engineering Programs
  • Carnegie Mellon University
  • Masters of Software Engineering
  • Anthony J. Lattanze

2
Software Engineering Options
  • Software Engineering
  • Master of Science Programs
  • Software Engineering (MSE)
  • Information Technology (MSIT)
  • Certificate Program
  • Distance Education
  • Tailored Programs

3
MSE Program
  • Three Primary Components

4
MSE Program
  • Three Primary Components
  • Academic backbone of the MSE
  • Consists of five courses

5
MSE Program
  • The Core Courses
  • Models of Software Systems
  • introduction to formal methodologies and formal
    reasoning
  • Methods of Software Development
  • introduction to analysis and design methodologies
  • Managing Software Development
  • introduction to software project management

6
MSE Program
  • The Core Course (continued)
  • Analysis of Software Artifacts
  • analyses of existing software such as reverse
    engineering, verification, validation, testing
  • Architectures of Software Systems
  • techniques for modeling, presenting,
    characterizing, reasoning about, and employing
    software architectures in practice.

7
MSE Program
  • Three Primary Components
  • Gives students an opportunity for study in areas
    of personal or professional interest

8
MSE Program
  • Example Areas of Interest for Electives
  • Real-Time Software and Systems
  • Networking
  • Software Architecture and Design
  • Data Mining
  • Business/E-Commerce
  • SW Project Management/Process Improvement
  • Distance students may transfer two electives from
    other Universities

9
MSE Program
  • Three Primary Components
  • Studio gives students an opportunity to apply
    Electives and Core material in a controlled
    (mentored) environment

10
MSE Program
  • Software Studio Projects
  • team oriented real-world projects with real
    clients
  • projects are not on the corporate critical path
  • students are encouraged to apply coursework
  • students manage their studio project and meet the
    technical requirements of the project
  • each project has 2 mentors to guide efforts
  • foster reflective practice

11
MSIT Program
  • Three Primary Components
  • Same 5 courses as the MSE program

The MSIT program was developed primarily to meet
demands of distance students...
12
MSIT Program
  • Three Primary Components
  • 1 less elective required

13
MSIT Program
  • Three Primary Components
  • Practicum is a short real-world studio for a
    single student

14
MSIT Program
  • Practicum differs significantly from Software
    Studio
  • practicum is only 1 semester rather than 4
    semesters
  • practicum is an individual effort rather than a
    team effort
  • The scope of the practicum is significantly
    smaller than MSE Software Studio
  • focuses on 1 aspect of SW development lifecycle

15
Certificate Program
  • Students completing the five MSE core courses
    receive a certificate in software engineering
  • primarily adopted by the distance education
    community
  • a way to receive recognition for completing the
    core

Current Programs Programs
  • Motorola (US)
  • delivered architectures and management
  • General Motors (US)
  • developed the MSIT program
  • Korean Government
  • developed a summer best of MSE program
  • South African MSIT
  • combination of distance deliver and on campus

20
Tailored Programs
  • Mahindras British Telecom (India)
  • provide periodic on-site training to instructors
    and deliver distance media and course updates
  • Marconi International (UK/US)
  • delivering the MSE program with corporate courses
  • US Navy
  • delivering MSE program using on-site mentoring

21
How do we get a foothold in CA?
22
CA Campus Startup Proposal
DE Associate Director
Pgh Campus
one-time set-up
23
CA Campus Startup Proposal
  • Mode of Course Delivery - course coaches
  • on-site lecturers view the videos/CDs in the
    classroom with the students
  • stop the media at opportune times to invoke
    discussion, answer questions, probe subject
    matter a little deeper
  • work will be graded by on-site lecturers
  • augment with guest visits by experts

24
CA Campus Startup Proposal
  • Mode of Studio Delivery
  • essentially the same as it is on campus
  • boot camp could be delivered by tape or in person
  • mentoring will be done by on campus lecturers
  • getting projects will be responsibility of CA site

25
CA Campus Startup Proposal
  • Recommend we install the MSE program as is in
    California
  • 10 year track record on campus
  • 5 year DE track record
  • MSE program has a market position
  • evolve as necessary to meet local needs

26
CA Campus Startup Proposal
  • Use the MSE program as a point of leverage
  • to start the Teaching Hospital
  • to conduct executive education
