Abstract

An executive software engineering program-developed to meet regional workforce needs-affords cohorts of students the opportunity to complete their Master's degree within one calendar year. This innovative program was designed with several objectives. Custom elective tracks were integrated to better meet needs within diverse application areas, such as healthcare, transportation, and the insurance industry. This program was also designed to establish a partner relationship with employers to support students through work release and opportunities for real world capstone project experiences. The program was designed as a cohort model in order to establish a strong sense of community and thus promote increased peer learning within courses because effective peer learning has been established as a best practice for online programs in higher education. Experiences regarding the development and implementation of an innovative, graduate, online program for the Master of Science in Computer Science — Software Engineering specialization are described in this paper.

为计算机科学-软件工程专业的科学硕士学位设计和实施一个创新的在线课程

为满足地区劳动力需求而开发的执行软件工程计划为学生提供了在一年内完成硕士学位的机会。这个创新项目的设计有几个目标。自定义选修轨道被集成，以更好地满足不同应用领域的需求，例如医疗保健、交通和保险行业。该项目还旨在与雇主建立合作伙伴关系，通过工作释放和现实世界顶点项目经验的机会来支持学生。该项目被设计成一个队列模型，目的是为了建立一种强烈的社区意识，从而促进课程中同伴学习的增加，因为有效的同伴学习已经被确立为高等教育在线课程的最佳实践。本文描述了计算机科学-软件工程专业科学硕士创新的研究生在线课程的开发和实施经验。
