S., Honors College Research and Teaching Interests I have a wide variety of interests in teaching and research, including Human Computer Interaction (HCI) including Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), Equitable and Active Computer Science Education, Educational Technology, Engineering principles, Rapid prototyping and 3D modeling and printing, and computer graphics and animation. Professional Experience University of Washington Seattle, WA 2017 – present Paul G Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering Computer Science Faculty Lecturer and K-12 Outreach • CSE 190Z – STARS CSE Workshops. STARS is a two-year program to support engineering and computer science students from underserved high schools as they transition and navigate the large required introductory courses such as Math, Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science. o Autumn 2017, 2018, 2019 – STARS Pre-CSE problem solving course: Developed and taught the new STARS Pre-CSE course. The goal of the course was to allow students the time and space to practice essential skills required to be successful in CSE 142 (Computer Programming 1), including problem solving process, computational thinking, persistence, communication and collaboration, creativity as well as time management. Students use these skills as they learn the “just enough” basic programming in Java to design and develop a small project of their own in the 10-week course. In the Autumn 2018 course I facilitated a carefully thought out class discussion entitled “Our Place In CS” which allowed all students in the course to read and reflect on topics such as imposter syndrome, technical entitlement, and technical privilege. o Winter 2018, 2019 – STARS CSE 142 workshop: workshop designed to prepare and reinforce concepts learned in CSE 142 through lecture, practice quizzes, and problem sets. Coordinated with TAs who run weekly check in meetings with each student individually and curriculum is adjusted each based on students’ needs. o Spring 2018, 2019 – STARS CSE 143 workshop: Continuation of the previous workshop with the same format, with material from CSE 143, Computer Programming II. • CSE 154 – Web Programming – A 10-week introduction to full stack programming for the World Wide Web covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, JSON, server-side programming, and SQL. • Spring 2018: Delivered an updated version of the course to 277 students that integrated active learning techniques and ensured homework and assessments align with delivered material. Managed seventeen undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants (TAs) for section and lab instruction and grading. • Autumn 2018: Implemented a TA formal interview evaluation rubric that evaluates candidates based on student focus and reasons for TAing, growth mindset, inclusivity, skills, code quality, “healthy” confidence, and reliability. Restructured course into Five “modules” - each module with a formative assessment (creative project) to ensure students would get feedback on learning objectives and summative assessment (homework) and incorporated instruction on the use of source code control using gitlab. Managed twelve TAs. • Spring 2019: Developed a new Homework for our HTML/CSS module. Oversaw a complete overhaul of the course website and the development of testing scripts for two of the homework assignments. Implemented a new “Mentorship Circle” initiative to support student learning. Managed twenty-four TAs. • CSE 190E - Startup! – Early Fall Start course for Allen School Direct Admits • Autumn 2018, 2019 – Developed and taught four-week, three hour a day course focusing on including problem solving process, computational thinking, persistence, communication and collaboration, creativity as well as time management. Students completed four major projects – a web portfolio project (HTML/CSS), User Centered design and “app” development using Code.org’s App Lab (JavaScript), a hardware project using the Arduino based Circuit Playground and the Maker toolkit, as well as a group presentation on a computer science topic. Managed four undergraduate TAs for classroom assistance and grading. Coordinated with the instructor of the afternoon program to ensure consistency across the full program. • “UW in the High School” liaison for CSE 142 (Computer Programming I). Responsible for: • approving new high school classes as UWHS CSE 142 designated courses • training new and existing instructors • answering questions and assisting support for tools throughout the year • observing existing classes to ensure the expected quality of the coursework is maintained across the region. • K-12 and DawgBytes Outreach • Working with the Director of Diversity and Outreach and the Undergraduate DawgBytes ambassador team to: • facilitate connections with area schools, teachers, community groups, particularly in diverse or underserved areas, • develop a database of area schools, parents, and teachers interested in outreach opportunities, • develop a database of researchers interested in providing guest lectures or mentorship to area high school students, • support the Puget Sound Computer Science Teachers Association in offering programming contests for students and professional development workshops for teachers. • Organized and hosted a day long User Centered App Development professional teacher training for ten teachers (even drawing one from the Portland area). • Attended WA computer science summit with state officials, Amazon.com, Code.org, and Microsoft. Coordinated, wrote, and presented a position paper from the perspective of K-12 computer science teachers in response to the budget proposal after that meeting. The presentation was persuasive enough that the document’s authors subsequently changed a number of items, including adding a focus on computational thinking as well as computer science. • Member of the Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) alliance (https://sites.google.com/uw.edu/cse-for-all-wa/the-team) (2018 – present) - a National Science Foundation-funded Broadening Participation in Computing alliance to facilitate state- level computing education reforms • Participated in monthly on-line meetings • Helped develop questionnaire regarding computer science education to be asked of teachers across WA state • Member of the Allen School’s diversity committee: • Attending monthly meetings to assist with committee decision making, • Hosted three Community Conversations for underrepresented students in computer science classes. • Hosted three gatherings for women who were doing well in CSE 142. Organized and facilitated a panel of current Allen School women to answer questions of the invited students. • Collected inclusion statements from faculty. Developed sample inclusion statement used in CSE 190Z and CSE 154, which was then noted and adopted by other instructors, including some from other institutions. Code.org Seattle, WA 2015 – present Engineering Contributor (summer 2019) • Assisted with bug fixes and a small feature enhancement one day a week. Facilitator interviewer (winter 2019) • Responsible interviewing six new facilitators (two CS Fundamentals, two CS Discoveries, and two CS Principles) with a Code.org regional partner. CS Discoveries Facilitator (summer 2017, summer 2018) • Trained middle and high school teachers during week long “TeacherCon” and local teacher workshop events for delivering Code.org’s new CS Discoveries curriculum in their classrooms. Facilitation included exploration of the curriculum to ensure teacher understanding and comfort in the material as well as discussions best practices to support equity and inclusion in the classroom. Computer Science Discoveries Curriculum Development Cohort (Summer 2016) • One of six summer cohort writers for the Code.org Computer Science Discoveries (middle school) curriculum. CS Discoveries is now being used (conservatively) by tens of thousands of students across the country and internationally. • Assisted in the vetting of overarching flow for the curriculum, and brainstormed ideas with other cohort writers for other units. • Was one of the two writers responsible for developing “Unit 4 - Problem Solving: The Design Process.” Developed lesson plans for a six-week course on user-centered design through a series of three hands-on projects with the ultimate goal to get students from thinking solely about what they personally would want in a product to what others would want. Was critical in developing the arc of the lessons as well as lesson plan details. K-5 Fundamentals Facilitator (2015 – present) • Co-led four one day workshops to K-5 teachers for Code.org Fundamentals curriculum. Responsibilities included organizing and teaching the course as well as for arranging workshop location, procuring lunch, and communication with the participants before and after the event.

An object-oriented framework is a set of classes that embodies an abstract design for solutions to a family of related prob- lems. The work presented is based on and has its origin in industrial contexts where object-oriented frameworks have been developed, used, evolved and managed. Thus, the results are based on empirical observations. Both qualitative and quanti- tative approaches have been used in the studies performed which cover both tech- nical and managerial aspects of object-oriented framework technology. Historically, object-oriented frameworks are large monolithic assets which require several design iterations and are therefore costly to develop. With the requirement of building larger applications, software engineers have started to compose multiple frameworks, thereby encountering a number of problems.

  • Essential Pascal
    Marco Cantù Essential Pascal 2nd Edition, March 2003 (version 2.01) APOLLO, THE GOD WORSHIPED AT DELPHI, IN AN ITALIAN 17TH CENTURY FRESCO. Essential Pascal [Copyright 1995-2003 Marco Cantù] www.marcocantu.com/epascal 1 Introduction he first few editions of Mastering Delphi, the best selling Delphi book I've written, provided an introduction to the Pascal language in Delphi. Due to space constraints and T because many Delphi programmers look for more advanced information, in the latest edition this material was completely omitted. To overcome the absence of this information, I've started putting together this ebook, titled Essential Pascal. This is a detailed book on Pascal, which for the moment will be available for free on my web site (I really don't know what will happen next, I might even find a publisher). This is a work in progress, and any feedback is welcome. The first complete version of this book, dated July '99, has been published on the Delphi 5 Companion CD. Note to the Second Edition After a few years (in the early 2003), the book had a complete revision, trying to refocus it even more on the core features of the Pascal language. Alongside, the book covers the language from the perspective of the Delphi for Windows programmer, but also of the Kylix and Delphi for .NET programmer. Differences among these different versions of the language will be mentioned. This change in focus (not only Delphi with the VCL library) was another reason to change most of the examples from visual ones to console based ones – something I plan doing but that I still haven't done.

  • 31 Frameworks for Understanding
    31 31 Frameworks for Understanding It is unlikely that you will learn how to use a "framework class library" in any of your computer science courses at university. Frameworks don't possess quite the social cachet of "normal forms for relational databases", "NP complexity analysis", "LR grammars", "formal derivation of algorithms", "Z specification" and the rest. You might encounter "Design Patterns" (which relate to frameworks) in an advanced undergraduate or graduate level course; but, on the whole, most universities pay little regard to the framework-based development methodologies. However, if you intend to develop any substantial program on your personal computer, you should plan to use the framework class library provided with your development environment. As illustrated by the simple "RecordFile" framework presented in the last chapter, a framework class library will embody a model for a particular kind of program. Some of the classes in the framework are concrete classes that you can use as "off the shelf" components (things like the MenuWindow and NumberDialog classes in the RecordFile framework). More significant are the partially implemented abstract classes. These must be extended, through inheritance, to obtain the classes that are needed in an actual program. Of course, the framework-provided member functions already define many standard patterns of interactions among instances of these classes. Thus, in the RecordFile framework, most of the code needed to build a working program was already provided by the Application, Document, and Record classes along with helpers like RecordWindow. If you can exploit a framework, you can avoid the need to reimplement all the standard behaviours that its code embodies.

  • Sketchpad for Windows
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sudheendra S. Gulur for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering presented on October 7, 1994. Title: Sketch Pad for Windows: An Intelligent and Interactive Sketching Software. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: David. G. Ullman The sketching software developed in this thesis, is aimed to serve as an intelligent design tool for the conceptual design stage of the mechanical design process. This sketching software, Sketch Pad for Windows, closely mimics the traditional paper-and-pencil sketching environment by allowing the user to sketch freely on the computer screen using a mouse. The recognition algorithm built into the application replaces the sketch stroke with the exact CAD entity. Currently, the recognition of two-dimensional design primitives such as lines, circles and arcs has been addressed. Since manufacturing requires that the design concepts be detailed, sketches need to be refined as detailed drawings. This process of carrying design data from the conceptual design stage into the detail designing stage is achieved with the help of a convertor that converts the sketch data into DesignView (a variational CAD software). Currently, only geometrical information is transferred from the sketching software into DesignView. The transparent graphical user interface built into this sketching system challenges the hierarchial and regimental user interface built into current CAD software.

  • 38 HOWL: the HLA Object Windows Library 1007
    HLA Standard Library Reference 38 HOWL: The HLA Object Windows Library The HLA Object Windows Library (HOWL) is an application framework for Microsoft Windows that greatly simplifies GUI application development for Windows in assembly language. It lets you declare forms and widgets that describe the visual layout of a GUI application and then you need only write small procedures that handle events associated with your GUI elements. This is far less work than writing a standard Win32 application and processing all the messages that Windows sends to such an application. Once you master the basics of HOWL, you can write the GUI portion of a Win32 application in a fraction of the time it would take using standard Win32 API programming techniques. Your programs will be easier to read and easier to maintain, as well. As its name suggests, the HLA Object Windows Library makes extensive use of HLA’s object-oriented programming facilities. If you are unfamiliar with object-oriented programming, or are uncomfortable with HLA’s implementation of object-oriented programming, you should take a look at the chapter on “Classes and Objects” in The Art of Assembly Language and the chapter on Object-Oriented Programming in the HLA reference manual. Note: Successful use of HOWL requires HLA v2.8 or later. If you have an earlier version, you will need to upgrade to the latest version in order to use HOWL. It should be obvious by now, but HOWL for Windows only supports Microsoft Windows (2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7; no guarantees on earlier versions). 38.1 The HOWL Application Framework Most HLA programs (at least to date) are written with a “main program” that controls the activities of that application by calling various procedures and other code within the application; the main program is the “traffic cop” that determines what happens and the sequence of those operations.
