CST 349 - Module 7

 Part One For our team’s final research video project planning our team mainly collaborated through Discord which has been our primary mode of communication throughout this course. While using Discord, we utilized good docs to all collaborate on the same document to develop a script effectively and efficiently. We are also deciding whether we will be putting together our recordings together through CapCut or google vids. So far the process has been pretty smooth. Using Discord helps for us because it sends each of a notification if someone has a question with something. Part Two In this week’s lecture I learned more about the ted.com video reflections and how there is so much academic information out that that professionals share thier view points. I have not really took the time to listen to video reflections on ted.com . This was very insightful and I plan to watch more. For this assignment i watched a video on biometrics which is the topic of our team’s final research video pro...

CST 349 / 300 Week 6

Part 1: Help Your Teammates to Develop Capstone Ideas A capstone idea that one of my teammates suggested that stood out to me was developing a app that provides trustworthy reviews of college’s  professors and courses.

CST 349 / Week 4 / Industry Expert Interview

  Introduction : I chose to interview Frank (he has asked to not share his last time for privacy reasons). He is a Supervisory Computer Scientist for the Naval Air Warfare Center - Weapons Division. I selected Frank because although he is a Supervisor for over three dozen Computer Scientists, he also involves himself in the projects and software development. He is knowledgeable in what is required to be successful as a Computer Scientist directly after graduating. I have known Frank for the past ten years and is a colleague of mine, but for a different branch. He carefully manages his time and primary responsibilities which allow him to do what he really enjoys, which is developing software. In addition, I also chose Frank because with the large amount of responsibilities at work he also has kids at home which I could use the advice on how the career change would impact my home life. Summary : Frank immediately advised me to stay with the organization that I have vested so many y...
