Why this class? Job hunting

WCU graduated, Database, Software Engineering, …

vs. UPenn, Temple, Drexel, …

Something help you to stand out!— How do you like to be introduced?

Welcome

Research project Critical thinking, communication, well-plan, etc. Real competition, deadline, pressure More realistic system, complex programming,

for instance, http://www.cis.temple.edu/~jiang/RSU_Van.pptx.

Student opportunities: http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/student_info.htm

Sponsorship NSF, NSA, etc Industry interns

NSF REU

Collaborative work at inter-

department level

Collaboration at inter-disciplinary

level

Course project

Collaboration at

international level

Industry partners• Such as Gnostech, Chase, etc.• Invited talks in courses• Seminars or guest speeches• Curriculum review/assessment• Permanent intern opportunities

• Competitive students entrepreneurially and computationally empowered citizenries

Temple, NYU, etc. IBM, SAP, Vanguard, Bell lab, etc.

• Attract students and keep them continuously working hard

• Real-world computing paradigms and principles in an obstacle-less learning

No pain, no gain Need to handle those things coming

from pressure: frustration, upset, madness, etc.

Looking for solution, not excuse. Deadline!
