College Park, Maryland - The Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering (CESE) has announced that several of its principal scientists have developed and are teaching a variety of upcoming graduate courses in Software Engineering for the Clark School of Engineering’
The graduate courses being offered for instruction by the Fraunhofer CESE scientists, beginning this fall semester, include:
• Software Engineering (ENPM 611) with Dr. Forrest Shull as the professor.
• System & Software Requirements (ENPM 612), with Dr. Lucas Layman as the scheduled professor.
• Software Design & Implementation (ENPM 613), with Dr. Arnab Ray as the professor.
• Software Testing & Maintenance (ENPM 614), with Dr. Mikael Lindvall as the scheduled professor.
According to Forrest Shull, a division director at CESE, “We have invested a great deal of time and planning into the development of these courses, and have ensured the course content is top notch. Since we are very much on the front lines of where science, academia, government, and business meet, we add considerable value to what the students will learn and apply in their professional lives. Look for these courses to be very ‘real world.’“
Dr. George Syrmos, Executive Director, Office of Advanced Engineering Education in the Clark School stated: “Fraunhofer is a world leader in Software Engineering research and development, and we went to them with a need to provide first-rate courses to the local and national engineering communities.”
The Fraunhofer Center has made a long-term commitment to the Clark School and the courses are planned to be part of the university's regular academic schedule. “This is a great opportunity for us to exercise our academic roots and demonstrate our strong connection with the University of Maryland. Our extensive software-related engineering, development, and research projects give us the direct and diverse skills and experience needed to improve the depth and scope of these courses and deliver exception quality to this community.” stated CESE Executive Director Dr. Rance Cleaveland.
