1 CSE Class Attendance It is a part of your grade  Attendance is expected at any and all scheduled activities: class, lab, team meetings, etc. It is a part of your grade.  Experience shows that grades are directly related to class attendance.  It’s better to come to class late than miss the class altogether.  N.B. - If you don’t come to class, you can’t participate in the learning process.  Do you get to skip work when you don’t want to go?

1 CSE Grading: Components/Weights  Attendance (6%): All classes and labs  <= 2 absent/tardy = 100  3 – 4 absent/tardy = 80  >4 absent/tardy, 0  Participation (4%): All classes and labs  >90% = 100 (actively contributes most every day)  75 – 90% = 90 (actively contributes every week)  50 – 75% = 80 (occasionally contributes)  25 – 50% = 70 (seldom contributes, but sometimes)  <25% = 0 (barely noticeable)

1 CSE Grading: Components/Weights  Individual Deliverables (25%)  Deliverables for which you are individually responsible  Team Deliverables (40%):  Deliverables for which the team is responsible  Final Deliverables (25%)  SRS, project charter, design document, final Scrum artifacts

1 CSE Major Individual Deliverables (25%)– Senior Design I  Any homework or class work, as assigned  Observed participation in class exercises  Individual contribution (your overall contribution to the project as evaluated by instructor & teammates – more later)  Engineering/Project Notebook Reviews (random spot reviews by your GTA/ Instructor)  Individual Sprint Retrospective Reports

1 CSE Exams/Exercises  This is a project/capstone course so NO exams are scheduled.  Major scheduled SD1 class exercises consist of:  Team Skills Assessment  Design Exercise  Scrum reviews  There may be short, unannounced, graded class exercises on occasion

1 CSE Homework & Lab Assignments  Due at the beginning of the assigned class (unless specifically noted otherwise). This means when the class is supposed to start, not when you get here.  If turned in during class (ie, after the class has started), there will be at least a 20% penalty  Will be accepted late until 5PM on due date. After due date, grade is zero.  All submitted work must be “typed” – handwritten work is not acceptable.

1 CSE Your first assignment  Write a short paper as follows (10 point Individual Deliverable):  Tell me about yourself: What’s important to you? What’s not? What are your strengths and weaknesses?  Specifically comment on why you would or would not be qualified to lead a Senior Design project team.  Discuss your individual goals and expectations for this course, through completion of Senior Design II.  Include your ideas on the type of project you would like to complete over the next two semesters.  If you have a project idea for senior design, suggest it here. Be as specific as possible!

1 CSE Your first assignment (cont.)  Papers should be formatted according to Senior Design Standard 001 (see website)  Due: By prior on THURSDAY, September 3 rd  Submit via attachments (pdf) to  See:

1 CSE Engineering Notebook  You are required to maintain an Engineering Notebook (ENB) throughout the project. your grade on Individual deliverables  Your records are an integral part of your project, therefore it will be used as a component of your grade on Individual deliverables.  Good record keeping is necessary for process improvement, and process improvement is necessary to be a good engineer/developer. brought with you  Your notebook should be brought with you to all lab/class sessions. inspection and grading  Notebooks are subject to inspection and grading by the GTA/Instructor at any time, without notice.  Team leader will be asked to review occasionally

1 CSE Ethics assume that you all are honest and ethical  Today, I assume that you all are honest and ethical  If you give me reason to believe that you are not, the UTA Engineering College Code of Ethics will be enforced. may assist your fellow students  You may assist your fellow students, (in fact, this is encouraged and expected)  You may not allow your fellow students to copy your work, or copy theirs.  Unauthorized  Unauthorized shared work will be treated as cheating.

1 CSE Sponsored Projects  It is expected that you will have an external “customer” (Product Owner/sponsor) for your project.  Encourages a more realistic project experience  Provides opportunity for “real world” requirements analysis  Insures external customer feedback in the development process  Some sponsors may even fund portions of your project (but NOT required)

1 CSE Lab/Work Area  Senior Design Lab is 208 ERB (+203 ERB?)  Each team will be assigned adequate space for team meetings/activities  Each team space has a computer:  Dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu LTS  Win 7 partitions are set up with Deep Freeze (thaw is required to make persistent changes)  Ubuntu partitions are set up with user accounts, root login is required to make install changes (NOT Deep Freeze, you can still save files)  READ and understand “Lab Rules of Etiquette” paper

1 CSE How We’re Going to Do Things Superior Designs, Inc.  This a small company: “Superior Designs, Inc. ”  You are the development department  Divided into teams for various projects (products)  Each team has a team lead  We use a proven, phased development process  Teams are self-organizing and self-directed within the boundaries of the specified SDI development methodology  Failure of one team => failure of company  Learn to depend on and help your peers

1 CSE How We’re Going to Do Things  I am the “boss” (development manager)  I will mentor you & help you learn how to do your job  I will approve your plans  I will approve your project expenses  I am available for consultation anytime I’m available Note: I will take trips, attend off-site meetings, etc., but the projects must continue... don’t delay critical work  I believe every question is worth answering  I don’t do your work for you  I don’t do your research for you  I don’t know everything about anything  I expect you to do your job, and will measure you on how well you do it

1 CSE How We’re Going to Do Things  This semester you will: build your team  Establish and build your team project  Be assigned to a team project (product)  Execute several stages of the development process (i.e. “Scrum Sprints”)  Demonstrate your working prototypes at completion of each stage  Prepare and maintain product/project documentation  Next semester you will continue work and complete the project, then demonstrate your final (“potentially shippable”) prototype

1 CSE Work Load 5-6 months of calendar working time  You have roughly 5-6 months of calendar working time for your project.  That’s, at most, 500 man-hours per team member  A 5 person team has 2500 man-hours to complete the project (4 people => 2000 man-hours) Equivalent of about one man-year, or 5-6 K delivered lines of source code by typical metrics  Don’t pad your schedule trying to make it easy on yourself outside of the classroom  Expect to spend hours every week outside of the classroom on the project  Failure to expend the required time will result in failure to complete the project (with a similar effect on your course grade)

1 CSE Work Load  Planthen work  Plan your work, then work your plan for each Sprint tools  Learn your tools well, and the work load will be lighter. less time  Do it the way we talk about in class, and you’ll spend less time redoing things. by industry  Remember: the methods we discuss are time-tested by industry… they work!

1 CSE ABET ABET  Must pass all ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology) Outcome Assessments to pass this class.  SD I ABET Outcome is: multi- disciplinary team  Primary: Ability to function on a multi- disciplinary team Will be assessed by peer evaluation at end of semester in SD1  Secondary: Ability to design a software systems product to meet desired needs
