4.1 Undergraduate Innovations

1. Organized brown-bag luncheon series to better integrate object-oriented technology into the undergraduate curriculum. A result of these meetings was the introduction of CS 1006, Object-Oriented Introduction to Programming, first taught by Prof. Gennert as an experimental course in term E 98-99.

2. Revised computer science undergraduate course CS 3733 Software Engineering. For each course, I designed a single software system composed of six individual software components. The students are divided into groups each responsible for developing a single software component. Each student group collaborated with other groups to assemble final system using components developed by other groups.

3. As part of Undergraduate Committee revised early curriculum to have an increased emphasis on design. The resulting course, CS 2102, Object-Oriented Design Concepts, was taught for the first time in 2004 B.

4. Worked to redefine the way the CS students present their MQP and the departmental oversight of the best MQP of the year award. Also improved the department’s ability to match students with potential projects and teammates.

4.2 Graduate Innovations

1. Revised graduate course CS 562 Advanced Topics in Software Engineering to be a true research seminar. Each student actively participates in scholarship by conducting literature reviews and preparing a research presentation. This course has resulted in two conference publications jointly authored with students (publications C10 and C11 in Section 9.3).

2. Taught special topics course C525-M on techniques for Modular Software Composition. This is an advanced graduate course in Software Engineering. The collected course notes produced during the class (nearly 200 pages) form the basis for a planned treatise on advanced techniques in software modularity.

5. Courses Taught at WPI

5.1 Course Titles

CS 1006 Object-Oriented Introduction to Programming: This course introduces computer programming, with emphasis on object-oriented programs. CS 2102 Object-Oriented Design Concepts: This course introduces students to an object-oriented model of programming. By emphasizing design, this course shows how to implement small defect-free programs and evaluate design decisions to select an optimal design under specific assumptions. CS 3733 Software Engineering: This course introduces software design topics pertinent to the waterfall life cycle model. Topics include requirements analysis and specification, architectural design, module testing, and system integration. CS 4233 Object-Oriented Analysis and Design: This course provides the student an in-depth experience into the analysis and design of Object-Oriented systems. CS 509 Design of Software Systems: This course focuses on the high-level design aspects of software engineering.

CS 525B Advanced Tutoring Systems: This course is taught primarily by Neil Heffernan; I am teaching 3 of the 14 lectures, presenting software engineering concepts and technology relevant to the design and implementation of Advanced Tutoring Systems.

CS 525M Special Topics Course on techniques for Modular Software Composition : This advanced software engineering special topics course investigates the issue of modularity in theory and practice.  CS 562 Advanced Topics in Software Engineering: This course focuses on the non-design aspects of software engineering in a seminar-style offering. ID 525 Business Assessment of Information Technologies: This course was co-taught with WPI professors John Orr (ECE), Chick Kasouf (MG), Len Polizzotto (ECE), and David Cyganski (ECE). This course was created for Lucent Technology's Financial Leadership and Development Program (FLDP). This course teaches the student the technical fundamentals of information technologies from an interdisciplinary perspective. The student will be taught basic science and engineering principles designed for non-engineering managers and the impact of technological change on customers, competition, and the firm (Lucent Technology). Course offered in Nov. 1999 and again in Nov. 2000.CS 525 191B Special Topics: Advance Topics in Tutoring Systems. This course was led by Prof. Heffernan and co-taught by Murali Mani and Prof. Heineman. In four lectures, Prof. Heineman provided a Software Engineering perspective on the web-based technologies used by Tutoring Systems.

CS 509 Design of Software Systems: I taught this course at several corporate locations as part of WPI’s Corporate and Professional Education: Raytheon (Summer 2008 and 2009), EMC (2009).

CS 525E Special Topics Course on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). I taught this course at Raytheon (Summer 2010) in Marlboro, Massachusetts.

9.2 Books

B1. G. T. Heineman and W. T. Councill, Editors, Component-Based Software Engineering: Putting the Pieces Together, 880 pp., Addison-Wesley, Boston, MA, June 2001.

In 1999 at the Second Workshop on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE), Bill Councill and I realized that the Software Engineering community needed a comprehensive text on CBSE. We developed a definition chapter to clearly define the terms used within this emerging field. Over the course of eighteen months, we invited forty internationally respected authors with expertise from academia and industry to contribute. All authors agreed to adopt the consensus definition chapter when writing their chapter, and we edited the book heavily to ensure a consistent style. This book provides the first comprehensive approach to the emerging field of Component-Based Software Engineering.

B2. G. T. Heineman, G. Pollice, and S. Selkow, “Algorithms in a Nutshell”, O’Reilly Media, Inc., Oct. 2008, oreilly.com/catalog/9780596516246/.

Creating robust software requires the use of efficient algorithms, but programmers seldom think about them until a problem occurs. Algorithms in a Nutshell describes a large number of existing algorithms for solving a variety of problems, and helps you select and implement the right algorithm for your needs -- with just enough math to let you understand and analyze algorithm performance.

With its focus on application, rather than theory, this book provides efficient code solutions in several programming languages that you can easily adapt to a specific project. Each major algorithm is presented in the style of a design pattern that includes information to help you understand why and when the algorithm is appropriate.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) holds an Annual International Collegiate Programming Contest (see acm.baylor.edu). In the contest for the past year, a total of 2,700 teams competed, representing 1,079 universities in 70 countries on six continents. To reach the world finals, teams composed of three students must first compete in regional competitions; because of the large number of colleges and universities in the Northeast North America region, an additional regional preliminary competition is held. The organizer of a preliminary competition is responsible for writing the contest programming questions, managing a team of judges to evaluate the contest, and overseeing the six-hour event.
