How to land your first job in tech without an engineering degree
Although, formal education helps in creating opportunities for first job but it is not necessary to have a degree in computer science, math or other STEM fields to get a job at a tech company.

Honors thesis overview: Katie Amberg-Johnson
The document discusses using molecular tweezers to investigate the fracture point of the σ54 core binding domain during transcription initiation. The experiment involves generating DNA handles, attaching them to the purified core binding domain protein, and then using molecular tweezers to apply force and simulate the "tugging" by the activator binding domain. This could reveal if the two subdomains of the core binding domain unfold separately or together under stress.
Introduction to Issue Driven Project Management
The document introduces issue-driven project management (IDPM), a simple approach for small group software projects. IDPM divides work into tasks represented as issues on an issue tracking system. Tasks are assigned as issues to individual team members and status is updated as tasks are started, completed, or new tasks identified. Daily stand-up meetings are used to assign new tasks, ensure forward progress, and quickly address any blockers or breakdowns.
Introduction to continuous integration
The document introduces continuous integration (CI), discussing its motivation, benefits, and how to implement it using the Hudson/Jenkins open source tool. CI ensures that code commits can be automatically built, tested and integrated to find issues early. The document recommends setting up a Jenkins server to regularly pull code from source control, run tests, and email developers on failures, improving the development workflow.
Introduction to WattDepot
A brief overview of WattDepot, a system for collection, storage, analysis, and visualization of energy data.
Introduction to Subversion and Google Project Hosting
This document introduces Subversion (SVN) and Google Project Hosting. It describes basic SVN concepts like repositories, working copies, commits, updates and revisions. It explains how SVN uses repository-wide revisions rather than file-based versions. Branches, tags and trunks are organized conventionally in an SVN repository. Google Project Hosting provides a free SVN server and issue tracker for open source projects.
Introduction to Version Control and Configuration Management
Version control systems like SVN aim to address three classic configuration management problems: the double maintenance problem of multiple copies needing separate updates, the shared data problem of developers accessing the same files, and the simultaneous update problem of file clobbering during concurrent edits. SVN improves on CVS by using a database backend instead of file versions, supporting repository-wide instead of file-based versions, and using directory-based tags and branches. Distributed version control systems like Git store a full code repository locally and support decentralized workflows without a central server.
A beginners guide to testing
Testing is important because software errors can have serious consequences like customer bank balances being inflated by $763 billion or radiation therapy machines overexposing patients. Testing helps verify that software meets its specifications and functions as intended. There are two main types of testing: static testing which analyzes source code without running programs, and dynamic testing which executes programs to look for errors. It is difficult to exhaustively test all possible inputs for non-trivial programs, so test cases must strategically sample a small percentage of inputs to uncover many defects. Both black box and white box testing methods aim to design effective test cases.
Introduction to automated quality assurance

Introduction to Robocode
This document introduces Robocode, an open-source robot simulation game. It is used to teach students Java programming skills through developing robots that can move, scan for others using radar, and fire guns, while gaining points for survival and hitting opponents. Students will download Robocode, run sample robot matches, and use Eclipse to develop and run their own robot by learning skills like movement, targeting, and firing to make their robot win matches against others.
Codings Standards
The document discusses coding standards and conventions for collaborative Java development. It outlines general principles like adhering to style and least astonishment. It also describes specific formatting, naming, documentation, and programming conventions like using meaningful names, commenting code, making fields private, and exception handling best practices. Automated tools like Checkstyle and Eclipse formatters can help enforce standards but may require configuration. Additional standards for the class are on the website.
Interactive Development Environments
An interactive development environment (IDE) is a software tool that aids in computer programming. Key features of an IDE include language-aware editing, project management, integrated compilation and debugging. While IDEs take more time to learn than basic text editors, they allow developers to work more efficiently on large software projects through features like code navigation, refactoring and testing. For these reasons, potential employers often expect job candidates to be skilled with IDEs like Eclipse rather than basic text editors.
Introduction to Intermediate Java
