Emir Garcia Nunez is a mechanical and aeronautical engineering student at Clarkson University expected to graduate in May 2017. He has held internships at United Technologies and General Electric where he improved manufacturing and testing processes. At Clarkson, Nunez leads the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and is a founding father of the Delta Upsilon fraternity chapter.
MOVING FROM WATERFALL TO AGILE PROCESS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CAPSTONE PROJE...cscpconf
Universities offer software engineering capstone course to simulate a real world-working environment in which students can work in a team for a fixed period to deliver a quality product. The objective of the paper is to report on our experience in moving from Waterfall process to Agile process in conducting the software engineering capstone project. We present the capstone course designs for both Waterfall driven and Agile driven methodologies that highlight the structure, deliverables and assessment plans.To evaluate the improvement, we conducted a survey for two different sections taught by two different instructors to evaluate students’ experience in moving from traditional Waterfall model to Agile like process. Twentyeight students filled the survey. The survey consisted of eight multiple-choice questions and an open-ended question to collect feedback from students. The survey results show that students were able to attain hands one experience, which simulate a real world-working environment. The results also show that the Agile approach helped students to have overall better design and avoid mistakes they have made in the initial design completed in of the first phase of the capstone project. In addition, they were able to decide on their team capabilities, training needs and thus learn the required technologies earlier which is reflected on the final product quality
The preparation of a SCAL measurement program is ideally a multi-disciplinary effort. This SCAL course will prepare reservoir engineers, petrophysicists, geologists and other E&P professionals to design a SCAL program, select a service provider, coach the execution of the program if and when required, manage data quality and do state-of-the-art data interpretation. Particularly for design and data interpretation use can be made of a dedicated, license free, SCAL flow simulator.
The course is highly interactive with an abundance of exercises, both with dedicated Excel spread sheets and with the SCAL simulator. No simulation experience is required to use the simulator.
