Office Hours::Summer 2009
No office hours.
Software Engineering Capstone::
The SE Capstone consists of three courses over an academic year:
CSC 402 Software Requirements Engineering (Fall)
CSC 405 Software Construction (Winter)
CSC 406 Software Deployment (Spring)
Three or four teams of four to six upper-level undergraduate students each develop the same system
for an industrial sponsor. The industrial sponsor serves as the business customer, establishing requirements
and acceptance criteria in consultation with the Cal Poly faculty. While the courses include
typical academic activities such as lectures, readings, and exams, the capstone project is the focal point
and primary outcome.
Students interested in participating in the SE Capstone should have completed the
prerequisites of CSC 305, 308, and 309.

Student Research::
I think the best senior project and masters thesis topics are the ones that a
student comes up with on their own. However, I have plenty of ideas to offer
on a range of topics. If you want to talk through some possibilities, feel
free to come by during office hours, or better yet, send me an email to
schedule a time.

Software Engineering Careers
What is the difference between SE and CS?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports the median salary (May 2006)
for computer application software engineers was $79,780 and predicts a 38% increase
in software engineering jobs in the next ten years.
See this link addressing myths on CS careers.
