. Page 22.1653.4In the Fall 2009 semester, the investigators communicated with high-school and middle schooleducators and reached agreement on collaboration on InspireCT goals. Teachers at the highschool and middle school levels were engaged in conversation about how to introducecomputation thinking into their classrooms, discussing what would attract their students tocomputing careers and how their student could be vertically teamed with undergraduate studentsin meaningful software projects.

AC 2011-2041: INTEGRATING COMMUNICATION INSTRUCTION THROUGH-OUT COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CURRIC-ULAJanet E. Burge, Miami University Janet Burge is an Assistant Professor in the Miami University Computer Science and Software Engineer- ing department. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (2005) and performed her undergraduate work at Michigan Technological University (1984). Her research in- terests include design rationale, software engineering, AI in design, and knowledge elicitation. She is a co-author (with Jack Carroll, Ray McCall,and Ivan Mistrik) of the book ”Rationale-Based Software En- gineering”. Dr. Burge is a recipient of a NSF CAREER Award for

design and implementation diverged from their initial plans.While students do not necessarily, and are not expected to, master formal software engineeringtechniques and methodologies, they gain valuable skills in addition to a significant team-basedproject experience. Through their work on requirements and design definitions, students gainexperience with carefully identifying and documenting the features their system must exhibitbefore beginning their implementation, which is likely the first time in their careers as computerscience students that they are required to do so. Through the elaboration of their team’smanagement plan, students are forced to consider their own personal strengths and weaknessesas developers in order to reach effective

AC 2011-1786: WORKING TOWARDS THE STUDENT SCRUM - DEVEL-OPING AGILE ANDROID APPLICATIONSThomas Reichlmayr, Rochester Institute of Technology I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Software Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Prior to transitioning to my academic career, I worked as a software engineer in the process automation industry in a variety of roles over a span of twenty five years. My teaching and research interests include the development of undergraduate software engineering curriculum, especially at the introductory level. Of primary interest is the study of software development process and its application to course curriculum and student team projects

each of these disciplines may acquire many of these skills andmuch of this knowledge in courses that are not necessarily taken by students in the other twodisciplines. It tells us that there is a commonality between the computer engineering andsoftware engineering programs that is reflected in the general shape of the curriculum, in thedegree to which student elective choices are constrained, and in the emphasis on engineeringdesign. These are programs that are intended to prepare students for professional careers. It tellsus that there is in general more commonality between the computer science and softwareengineering programs than there is between either of these two programs and the computerengineering program on the same campus.
