Entity-Relationship (ER) models are usually used to design a database application in the industry. Therefore, ER models are taught in database courses at many schools offering tertiary education. However, teaching ER modeling effectively is a challenge for the instructors. The research presented in this paper is based on our previous work that had identified frequent modeling errors. This paper identifies...
To improve practical IT education, many universities are implementing project-based learning (PBL). Although researchers have examined the relationship between projects and personality, they have not investigated the type of projects and team construction based on personality. We consider not to construct optimal team for the view of educational effectiveness if we do not understand the difference...
Our planet is facing serious environmental issues due to constant increase in energy consumption, and waste from industry. During the past two decades, the use of information technology (IT) has tremendously increased, causing an increase in IT-related power consumption and resulting in higher carbon emission. On the other hand, the concept of Green IT is gaining momentum in our society after the...
Agile software development methods have begun to gain wide acceptance by the global software industry. However, project managers with academic training in ASD are a rarity. This paper outlines a course in IS Project Management that is well-suited for an audience consisting of students from the information systems, business and computer science streams, who normally make up a graduate class. The course...
Transforming legacy information systems to more modern technologies is a top-of-mind topic for a large percentage of today's corporate CIOs. Organizations face several challenges in modernizing their application portfolios, including a lack of awareness regarding the most effective approaches for application modernization, as well as access to a dwindling supply of resources skilled in mainframe environments...
The following topics are dealt with: information systems; software engineering; database; data mining; networking; security; privacy; image processing; information processing; computer networks performance analysis; education and teaching informatics.
There is a deep talent education gap between industry and university in computer or software engineering specialty. There are many factors affecting the education quality of software engineering, including lacking pertinence. An alternative solution to improve the talent education is improving personalized talent education using specialty direction. In this paper, we first analyze the current education...
Iterative and incremental development (IID) is a staple of multiple software development methods, including Spiral development, Unified process and Agile development. However, a number of papers warn of possible pitfalls in application of this approach in examples of real-life development project. In this paper we will describe an (in our opinion) successful application of IID to a software project...
Software engineering lecturers are faced with the teaching of concepts which sometimes are not easy for inexperienced students to understand. Therefore, it can be useful to consider and use non-traditional teaching methods which can improve studentspsila learning. In this paper, we discuss problem-based learning and how its use can improve studentspsila understanding of concepts. We present factors...
The computational thinking view recognizes that underlying computing concepts are integral to our everyday lives and pervasive in many disciplines of study. Computer science, information systems, computer engineering, informatics, software engineering-these are among the smorgasbord of choices available to college students interested in a computing career. The choices for noncomputing-oriented students...
As an important learning method in e-learning time, blended learning, combining with the advantages of traditional learning and digitalized learning, advocates that the ways of learning should vary from time to time, situation to situation and person to person in order to achieve the most efficiency. A good blended learning plan should be meticulously designed. The design for blended learning includes...
In a series of research papers, the authors have studied some of the most important models of contemporary universities, such as: the research university, the entrepreneurial university and the digital university and construct their generalized net (GN) models. This paper is based on the case-studies of Sofia University, the Technical University of Munich and the University of Edinburgh. The main...
The net generation of students have characteristics which make them well-suited for participating in open source projects including being comfortable with information technologies, using IT as a form of communication, desiring to work in groups, a desire to do social good, and being fascinated by new technologies. The nature of open source projects where communities of developers from around the world...
This paper provides an overview of work being done in the EntryPoint project, which is examining the first course work in computing degrees. A key goal of this project is to move away from the traditional CS1/CS2 programming courses as the start of a computing degree. In addition, the project team is looking at how these ideas might be extended to BSSE degree programs. As such, this paper will discuss...
The following topics are dealt with: aerospace and electronic systems; antennas; communications and signal processing; computational methods; control and automation; education; electron devices and circuits; energy and power systems; engineering applications in health; engineering management; information systems; lasers and electro-optic systems; microwave theory and techniques; modeling and simulation;...
