Curriculum for Accelerated Services Engineering (CASE)

软件工程(34)这个项目专注于发展IT工作者所需的新技能--系统集成和发展的技能，而不是系统开发的技能，“服务工程”而不是传统的“软件工程”。这个项目包括：1)将这些材料组织到一个课程中，向本科生传达问题背景和解决问题的方法；2)创建一个服务工程的四门课程的轨道，可以纳入任何本科计算机科学课程；以及3)通过社区建设活动建立一个持续改进的过程。作为这一轨道发展的一部分，建立了一套基准或参考企业应用程序，它们代表了现有企业系统中的复杂性，并作为课程材料的示范企业系统，以及上述课程的实验室作业所基于的核心。本课程经过严格的内部评估和验证，并通过向行业专业人员提供一套相当于三个短期课程的材料进行外部验证，并获得他们的反馈。智力优势：与行业直接接触的过程产生了与复杂企业系统和服务管理相关的知识创造。这些经验知识与项目资产相结合，被组织并整合到一门课程中，对进入劳动力大军的本科生来说是可以教授的。除了课程创建本身，同样独特的是双重评估过程。由于该课程旨在成为更好的实践者，因此它(除了课堂环境之外)直接提供给行业专业人员，以供他们评估和评估对其能力和工作表现的影响。广泛影响：近期的传播计划是帮助将该课程纳入合作机构。创建的材料还使其他机构能够创建自己的服务工程课程。

Software Engineering (34)This project focuses on developing the new skills needed of IT workers - skills in systems integration and evolution rather than system development, "services engineering" rather than the traditional "software engineering."This project involves: 1) Organizing this material into a curriculum that communicates both the problem context and the problem solving to undergraduates; 2) Creating a four-course track in services engineering that can be incorporated in any undergraduate Computer Science program; and 3) Establishing a process of continuous improvement though community-building activities. As part of this track development, a set of benchmark or reference enterprise applications is built that are representative of the complexity found in extant enterprise systems, and serve as an exemplar enterprise system for the curricular material, as well as the core on which laboratory assignments for the above courses are based. This curriculum is rigorously assessed and validated internally, and validated externally by offering this material through an equivalent set of three short courses to industry professionals, and getting their feedback.Intellectual merit: The process of direct engagement with industry has resulted in knowledge creation relevant to the management of complex enterprise systems and services. This experiential knowledge combined with project assets is organized and integrated into a curriculum teachable to undergraduates that move into the workforce. In addition to the curriculum creation itself, also unique is the two-fold assessment process. Because this curriculum is intended to make better practitioners, it is offered (in addition to the classroom setting) directly to industry professionals, for their assessment and evaluation of the impact to their capabilities and their on-the-job performance.Broader impact: The immediate dissemination plan is to help incorporate this curriculum within partner institutions. The materials created also enable other institutions to create their own services engineering courses.
