Resource:How to Teach Students to Build Good Software as a Team

2017-01-05T19:26:11Z

Nsmith30:

Our interviewee, Isaac Griswold-Steiner, is a changemaker whose passion for software development and leadership qualities, has allowed him to become President of Texas Tech's Software Development Club and land internships at innovative technical companies such as Microsoft and National Instruments. With his advice, we are able to give you an advice on how to teach students to build good software as a team.

== INTRODUCTION ==

Isaac is a software developer currently studying in Texas Tech, who learnt to code and found an interest in I&E while working for his startup in India. Although his startup eventually failed, he learnt a lot about team designing, management and organizing that help him till date. His software experience includes machine learning, data science, and working with linux kernel.

== NEED AND GOAL ==

While studying in Texas Tech, Isaac realized the education imparted to the students was not a representation of what is actually demanded in the industries. For instance, the very basis for software developing lies in source control which was taught as a part of syllabus during late years of education in college. Thus there is a difficulty in meeting the industrial standards, students aren't prepared and lack the skills required in an industry. Hence, with an aim to meet the industrial standards, he joined the existing Software Development Club of college. Different strategies like open ended contributions, structured layout for different teams in the club are applied with the ultimate aim of growing the passion of the students, create a student population which tries to seek information rather than stay contented with the redundant information fed to them in classes, and ultimately learns.

== TOPIC ==

When teaching students how to build good software as a team, it is important to '''NOT''' only focus on the programming languages that students should know, but to also focus on architected software. Without having a way to properly structure code, a lot of business tend to fail. This is can be compared to having architecture for a building...it is a necessity!

Since the launch of the club, one important thing that Isaac has learned is how jobs in the industry are becoming automated at an increasing rate. Essentially, computers and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) are able to perform certain jobs quicker and more efficient than humans. These types of jobs are quickly being exchanged by companies who want to eliminate human error and ineffectiveness. Isaac stated that in order to stay ahead of the automated transition, one needs to consistently learn and refine skills in their industry.
