News::
I may be teaching the 409 Android course during
summer 2010. If you are interested, email me and let me know the following:
your name, could you take 409 on-campus?, do you have an Android phone?
I published a new app in that Android Market called Advent Devotions.
It is pretty simple, but appropriate for the season.
I completed my first Android app called Campus Maps.
I will be teaching a class on developing mobile applications for Google's
Android in Winter 2010. Dr. Chris Lupo and I were awarded a Google Research Award
to support developing this course and Chris' CPE Capstone.
Check out the 1st International Workshop on Test-Driven Development.
I was awarded an NSF CCLI grant titled "Test-Driven Learning with WebIDE."
Dr. John Clements is my co-PI.

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.
Research Interests::
- Empirical Software Engineering
- Agile Methods
- Test-Driven Development
- Object-Oriented Systems
- Design Patterns
- Software Metrics
- Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Information Systems Pedagogy
Research Projects::
- Test-Driven Learning with WebIDE (sponsored by NSF)
- Android at Cal Poly (sponsored by Google)
- WebIDE (sponsored in part by Chevron)
- Software Engineering Evidence Database (SEEDS)
- Test-Driven Learning: Pedagogical Patterns for Introducing Test-Driven Development in Early Programming Courses (sponsored by Lockheed Martin)
- Assessing the impacts of Test-Driven Development on Internal Software Quality
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.
