Also, candidates may prefer explaining problems with a pencil on thepaper or on a computer using an integrated development environment. Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two

Integration (CMMI) is the culmination of an effort to define thestages that software organizations pass through as they gain better and better control overtheir processes. The effort was kicked off by the US Department of Defense and undertakenby the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University. The originalproduct that most software developers are familiar with is CMM and it was designed tomeasure the process maturity of a software development organization.In the 1990’s, a veritable galaxy of quality frameworks emerged and CMM was divided intoversions for software development (SW-CMM) and versions for software engineering(SECM) and product development (IPD-CMM). Later in the decade, SEI began an effort tointegrate all of the

More importantly, we will be able toenhance the undergraduate curriculum to include programming assignments for the students todevelop their skills further in modifying and creating new applications and algorithms that wouldhave been nearly unattainable in the traditional networking environment.It should be noted that more research needs to be done on the overall effectiveness of hands-onlearning.
