CS 410 Professional Workforce Development I Spring 2019 Week 1 15 January 2019 Instructor: J Brunelle (jbrunell@odu.edu) Office: E&CS 3210 (757-683-7714) https://www.cs.odu.edu/~brunelle

Professional Workforce Development I Course Overview Goals - To consolidate key concepts of the undergraduate CS curriculum and to introduce students to experiences they are likely encounter in the future - including: the challenges associated with identifying and assessing a problem to be solved with a software-based solution, establishing the feasibility of finding a solution and assessing project risks by thoroughly researching the problem domain, designing a software-based and technologically achievable approach to resolving the problem, preparing and presenting documentation and technical information the clearly defines the problem, describes the proposed solution, and establishes the overall software design. Course Characteristics Project-oriented, encourages innovative thinking No text, directed reading assignments – requires research and analysis (individual/group) Introduces Project Management concepts Requires group collaboration (teamwork is an essential element) Focuses on communications and presentation skills Fosters professional awareness (written, spoken, when presenting, during group interaction) Engages industry, faculty, and other professionals as active participants to review and assess group performance towards achievement of assigned objectives Syllabus - Overview

Professional Workforce Development I Key Expectations Students will work as individuals preparing a presentation, function as members of a team to prepare and deliver group presentations, and assume the responsibilities as leaders of group efforts in support of achieving the overall project objectives. Students/Groups will develop plans, conduct analyses and present results, and develop the top-level design for the various aspects of the project solution. Students will take on the role of project managers and be required to develop management level briefings through formal presentations.  There will be at least one informal presentation per week. Satisfactory performance in the development of and presentation of the project description, feasibility, competitive analysis, risks, solution design and other aspects of the problem domain is essential. One or more presentations will be used to develop and communicate a critical design review that seeks the approval for continuation of the project. The use of current technology in the support of the design and development approach to the problem solution is a critical component of the process. The collective efforts of each group will produce a clear and concise description of the problem to be resolved and a feasible and approved design concept that will be carried forward for detailed specification, design and deployment (prototyping) in CS 411.

Professional Workforce Development I Grading No “Tests” 100% Performance-based (Individual and Group) Results-oriented: timely submission quality of materials quality of presentation(s) applicability, breadth, depth of information prepared and presented comprehensive concept-through-design transition Weighted by inputs from external/industry review panel(s) and peer evaluations Professionalism is essential throughout Syllabus - Grading

Challenges (and opportunities) Time Management – Get ahead early, review all course material, requirements and assignments during Week 1. Selecting a Societal Problem – Viable? Relevant? Something a team can accomplish Group Dynamics – There will be situations win which you may not like each other but you NEED to respect each other and work together. Suggested quick-read: Top 10 Project Management Challenges Organizing Briefings – Flow, Consistency, Presentation Style, Accuracy, Complete and Comprehensive Presenting to Professional Audiences – Demeanor, Speech Pattern, Appearance, Subject Knowledge Handling Feedback – Compliments are easy to take. Criticism is difficult – but usually constructive (particularly in a Professional environment). CS 410 Course Outline - Spring 2019

Week 1 Assignments Due: 1/19/2019 (23:59) Personal Introduction Treat this as an opportunity to “present” yourself to the participants of this course. Professionalism Describe what professionalism means to you and your perspective on the characteristics of professional performance behavior. Post it as an honest and insightful response you might give during an interview – as opposed to a “canned” definition that you can find online. Interact with class members to discuss professional perspectives. Societal Problem Identification Post a societal problem which would require a software-oriented solution to resolve (one or more). Outline a concept on how a software-based approach could be used to address the problem. The problem and solution approach must be: relevant and non-trivial, a unique/unsatisfied need - or a substantial and innovative enhancement to an existing situation (which can be addressed with a software-based solution), something that can be taken from concept-to-design in CS 410 and specified and prototyped for demonstration in CS 411.

Some CS 410 History Two Decades of Innovation… Previous 410 Projects 1998: ODU Online 2000: Speed Monitoring System 2007: Don't Forget Me 2011: Traffic Wizard 2017: ParkODU

As You Take on the Challenges of this Course - Consider this… CS 410 and its relationship to CS 411 are unique: CS 410 lays the foundation for success in CS 411. A mediocre effort may get an individual and team through CS 410 – but that level of performance may be a recipe for disaster in CS 411. The more thorough, well conceived, well researched and well designed a CS 410 project is, the better prepared you will be for what must be accomplished to be successful in CS 411. Performance and results in this CS 410-411 course sequence can/should be a resume bullet – and a discussion point in any interview. CS 410 Course Outline - Spring 2019

Computer Productivity Initiative: Past, Present, and Future Excerpt ODU CS Conference Paper - 8th SEI Conference on Software Engineering Education (February 1995) Conclusion: The role of undergraduate education is being redefined in an era when business and government are striving to become more productive and competitive. The most successful graduates may not be those with the best technical education but rather those with the better understanding of how to apply that education to the solution of real problems. The CPI project has been developed through a joint effort of NSF and ODU in order to provide a curriculum which better prepares students for their future roles in society. CPI has matured to the point where it has become part of a multi-year coordinated project within our CS curriculum. Initial feedback from our students and from an external board of advisors confirms our feelings that this effort can provide an additional dimension to the traditional CS curriculum which better prepares students to contribute to the solution of ill-structured but real problems. Our current efforts are to extend CPI to a networked remote learning environment.
