Why this class? ◦ Job hunting WCU graduated, Database, Software Engineering, … vs. UPenn, Temple, Drexel, … ◦ Something help you to stand out! — How do you like to be introduced?
◦ Research project Critical thinking, communication, well-plan, etc. Real competition, deadline, pressure More realistic system, complex programming, for instance, ◦ Student opportunities: ◦ Sponsorship NSF, NSA, etc Industry interns
NSF REU Collaborative work at inter- department level Collaboration at inter-disciplinary level Course project Collaboration at international level
Industry partners Such as Gnostech, Chase, etc. Invited talks in courses Seminars or guest speeches Curriculum review/assessment Permanent intern opportunities
Competitive students entrepreneurially and computationally empowered citizenries Temple, NYU, etc. IBM, SAP, Vanguard, Bell lab, etc. Attract students and keep them continuously working hard Real-world computing paradigms and principles in an obstacle-less learning
No pain, no gain Need to handle those things coming from pressure: frustration, upset, madness, etc. Looking for solution, not excuse. Deadline!
