Multi-Media Software Design Studio

在非技术领域的计算系统的扩散创造了一个关键的需要，了解软件系统设计的原则，包括人为因素。 对优秀软件设计师的需求不断增加，加上缺乏关于什么是好的软件设计原则的正式知识，需要学徒式的培训方法，让学生通过设计系统并接受对这些设计的反馈来积极学习。 计算机科学与工程系提供人机交互，软件工程和高级项目课程，为学生提供对具有人为因素知识的软件设计师日益增长的需求。 该补助金资助一个创新的实验室计划，建立一个多媒体软件设计工作室，学生通过积极设计和观察他人的设计来学习。 该工作室使用多媒体技术来展示设计原理。 实验室计划让学生有机会设计和评估自己的工作，以及他人的工作。 为了提供一个高质量的软件设计工作室，通过设计项目和多媒体技术支持主动学习，该大学正在购买14台具有多媒体功能的计算机系统和支持软件和硬件。 已计划将这项工作传播给计算机科学界。

The proliferation of computing systems in nontechnical domains has created a critical need for understanding principles of software system design that incorporate human factors. The increasing demand for good software designers, coupled with the lack of formalized knowledge about what constitutes good software design principles, demands apprenticeship-like training methods in which students engage in active learning by designing systems and receiving feedback on those designs. The Computer Science and Engineering Department has offered courses in Human-Computer Interaction, Software Engineering, and a Senior Project program that prepare students for the growing demand for software designers with knowledge of human factors. This grant is funding an innovative laboratory program to establish a Multimedia Software Design Studio in which students learn by actively designing and observing the designs of others. The studio uses multimedia technology to demonstrate design principles. The laboratory program gives students the opportunity to design and evaluate their own work, as well as the work of others. In order to provide a quality Software Design Studio that supports active learning through design projects and multimedia technology, the university is purchasing 14 computer systems with multimedia capabilities and supporting software and hardware. Plans have been made to disseminate this work to the computer science community.
