There are a number of ways students can become
involved with the Agile Software Factory. Below are a
number of options, but participation isn’t just
limited to these options. Students who would like to
work with the Agile Software Factory can contact us at agile@bgsu.edu.
Undergraduate Students
There are two common ways for undergraduate
students to work with the Agile Software Factory:
Computer Science courses
The primary method for students to become
involved in the ASF is by taking one of the
BGSU Computer Science classes that uses our
projects in their coursework. Classes that may
use one of our projects:
- CS 4540: Software Engineering Project
- CS 3140: Web Application Development
- CS 3160: Windows Application Development
Part-time employment
The Agile Software Factory is actively
soliciting money from the community to provide
opportunities for interested students to work
on a project as a part-time job during the
year. These opportunities are subject to
project and financial availability.
Any undergraduate student who wants to
participate in an Agile Software Factory
project should have completed CS 2010, CS
2020, and CS 3540. A student should also be
familiar with the basics of software
development and writing software.
Graduate Students
Graduate students attending BGSU and pursuing a
degree in Computer Science have more opportunities to
work on projects with the Agile Software Factory:
Computer Science courses
Like undergraduate students, grad students
have the opportunity to work on ASF projects
in their classes:
- CS 5540: Software Engineering Project
- CS 6640: Software Engineering
Assistantships or part-time
employment
Graduate students also have the opportunity
to work on projects that are sponsored by
community partners. In this case, it may be as
an assistantship or as part-time employment. A
sponsored project as an assistantship is
subject to the same requirements as other BGSU
assistantships. Sponsored projects are
dependent on both project and financial
availability.
Final graduate project
Graduate students can choose to work on an
ASF project as a final graduate project. It is
subject to all of the conditions of a final
graduate project and to availability of
suitable projects.
