The Masters of Software Engineering (MSE) Program
is a professional program for early-to-mid-career engineers seeking to
acquire advanced software engineering skills as well as increase the breadth
and depth of their knowledge of the software engineering discipline. The cornerstone of the MSE program is
Software Studio. Software Studio
consumes 40% of the time students spend in the MSE program and serves as a
laboratory where students can apply academic lessons in a realistic, but
mentored, environment. Each studio
team is comprised of 4 to 6 students. Each project team is assigned a real
project from industry. Students are required to manage the programmatic
aspects of the project (requirements, planning, schedule, tracking, etc.) as
well as meet the technical requirements.
My role in the MSE program’s Software Studio is
to mentor studio teams and act as one of the lead mentors for the program. As
a team mentor, my role is to bring my industrial experience and knowledge of
the program core material to guide students in their application of academic
lessons to a real-world project. An important part of this experience is
guide students to reflect upon their choice of methods and techniques and how
appropriate and effective their application of them was. As a lead mentor, I
help coordinate and select studio projects and train new mentors. To see some the current and past studio projects
and the artifacts our students have created, please visit the MSE Studio Project server. |
