Including my plan for targeting the CS department and software developers for change that can overflow to other parts of TTU.

== Strategy #8: Lack of Developers for Startups Needing Software ==
'''Leadership Circle Representative:''' Isaac Griswold-Steiner
=== Tactic #1: Implementing Web-CAT Autograder in CS Department ===
*Description: Have the Computer Science department use an auto-grader for labs and develop better programming assignments.
*Milestones:
**Get the chair and associate chair of the department onboard with the project.
**Secure funding for a server to run the system.
**Get a working Web-CAT server up and running (and capable of grading Python, Java, and C++ assignments)
**Find professors willing to test the autograder
**Secure a way for students to get elective credit if they develop good programming assignments for courses (or plugins for the system).
**Test run the system with TAs, Students, and Professors. Take feedback and try to solve issues.
**Run a course or courses using this system.
**Expand the system to other departments at TTU.
**Reach out to other schools and try to help them do the same.
=== Tactic #2: Programming Courses for Non-CS Majors ===
*Description: Have a course in the concepts of programming (run by students or the department) for non-CS majors.
*Milestones:
**Use CS For All (from Harvey Mudd) to create a trial run of a course for Non-CS majors (2-6 motivated individuals).
**Use the feedback to develop a larger course that can be run by students each semester.
**Build enough interest to get the CS department to have an official course based off of CS For All.
**Use the CS For All course as a way to improve CS education within the department as a whole (more implementation in addition to the theory).
=== Tactic #3: Software Development Club Community Integration ===
*Description: Currently the Software Development Club is somewhat small and casual. The goal is to make it larger and more driven, integrating it more with the I&E community on campus.
*Milestones:
**Get the members more self-motivated and in smaller teams (3-5 per team).
**Change the culture and encourage members to work on projects for at least 5 hours per week instead of the 2 we do now.
**Change weekly meetings to be more team-building, planning, getting help, and less about sitting quietly and coding.
**Build a framework for integrating new officers and motivating them to overachieve. Possibly build a points system for the entire club.
**Work with other student organizations to find out what software they need. Teach design thinking to the CS majors during the process of doing these projects.
