Welcome. The purpose of this blog is to discuss the concept of the Studio experience implemented in Carnegie Mellon's Master of Software Engineering programs.
Studio was largely the creation of my good friend and colleague, Jim Tomayko. I certainly miss all of his wonderful qualities, since he passed away. Jim began with the concept of project courses in undergraduate and graduate education in software engineering, since the MSE program began around 1990, and the concept was revised and refined over the years.
In my work with Jim and especially in the academic collaborations we created with other countries, I learned a lot. Certainly that was true when we brought the Master of Software Engineering program into an academic collaboration in Korea. The differences that we found in academic culture, in university-industry collaboration culture, and in business culture not only affected the academic collaboration, but produced learning on both sides of the Pacific. Not to mention the differences in roles and traditions in the software engineering business around the world.
Aside from Korea, the MSE program established formal collaborations with India, Australia, and lately, Portugal. Informal collaborations (e.g., with Latin America) also abound. So the topic is rich for discussion. Welcome and join in.
