Dr. Steve Roach, Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of the Department of at 海角社区 (PI) and Dr. Shamsnaz Virani (Co-PI) have been awarded nearly $700,000 from the National Science Foundation to encourage development of professional master's degree programs in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields.
The 3-year project, titled "ARRA: SMP: Masters of Science in Systems Engineering (MSSE) and Masters of Science in Software Engineering (MSSwE)" will provide scholarship funds to students entering the graduate programs in Systems Engineering (MSSE) or the Software Engineering track of the Masters of Science in Engineering program.
"The increasing complexity of today's systems requires disciplined and systemic approaches that ensure correct integration among software, hardware and processes," said Dr. Roach. "The NSF award will help to build both the MSSE and MSSwE programs at 海角社区 to fill the needs of government agencies and industry."
