Real World Problems

This book is on algorithms for network flows. Network flow problems are optimization problems where given a flow network, the aim is to construct a flow that respects the capacity constraints of the edges of the network, so that incoming flow equals the outgoing flow for all vertices of the network except designated vertices known as the source and the sink. Network flow algorithms solve many real-world problems. This book is intended to serve graduate students and as a reference. The book is also available in eBook (ISBN 9781316952894/US$ 32.00), and hardback (ISBN 9781107185890/US$99.99) formats. The book has a companion web site www.networkflowalgs.com where a pre-publication version of the book can be downloaded gratis.

Final Degree

(1) Background: final year students of computer science engineering degrees must carry out a final degree project (FDP) in order to graduate. Students’ contributions to improve open source software (OSS) through FDPs can offer multiple benefits and challenges, both for the students, the instructors and for the project itself. This work reports on a practical experience developed by four students contributing to mature OSS projects during their FDPs, detailing how they addressed the multiple challenges involved, both from the students and teachers perspective. (2) Methods: we followed the work of four students contributing to two established OSS projects for two academic years and analyzed their work on GitHub and their responses to a survey. (3) Results: we obtained a set of specific recommendations for future practitioners and detailed a list of benefits achieved by steering FDP towards OSS contributions, for students, teachers and the OSS projects. (4) Conclusion: we find out that FDPs oriented towards enhancing OSS projects can introduce students into real-world, practical examples of software engineering principles, give them a boost in their confidence about their technical and communication skills and help them build a portfolio of contributions to daily used worldwide open source applications.

Workplace Setting

As noted in the 2017 Horizon Report on Higher Education, it is no longer enough to simply graduate with a degree in a particular discipline; the Hart Research Associates Report also emphasizes the point that employers are requesting that colleges and universities place more emphasis on practical and real-world skills rather than focusing on competencies in broader disciplinary theories that may never be applied practically in the daily workplace setting. In this chapter, the authors look at two specific examples: preservice teacher training and the training of graduate students in epidemiology (STEM). The purpose of this qualitative analysis is to examine and compare the literature related to two primary concepts: (1) access to technology and digital literacy of minority college students and (2) minority serving institution (MSI) response to promoting digital literacy among faculty and students enrolled in clinically based programs.

Oral Examinations

Graduate students rarely receive formal preparation for oral defenses as part of their educational experience. This article describes the content of a class on oral examinations. In the class, students learn to cope with anxiety about the oral defense and to understand and manage the defense meeting. Topics include self-management, the format and process of the meeting, and ways to handle questions.

Responsibility Scale

The purpose was to identify personality traits of those individuals who might have the necessary psychological commitment to pursue actively an advanced degree in psychology. 35 graduate students, 39 undergraduates, and 22 applicants to a Master's program were administered the California Psychological Inventory to study personality trait differences at these levels. One-way analyses of variance indicated significantly higher scores for graduates than undergraduates on the scales of Dominance, Social Presence, Self-acceptance, Intellectual Efficiency, and Psychological-mindedness. The only differences between applicants and graduates showed the former to be higher on the Responsibility scale. One-way analyses of covariance, covarying for age of the subject, showed age less important in personality change of the college graduate students than their educational experience. These results suggest a means of identifying potentially successful graduate students in psychology early in their educational experience.

Roles And Responsibilities

This paper discusses instructional design in corporate settings through describing and analyzing six real-world cases of instructional designers’ roles and responsibilities and summarizing key elements of those cases. The intent is to provide graduate students in Instructional/Educational Technology with a better idea of the roles they may take and the skills they will need when they start their careers as an instructional designers in corporate settings.
