LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., April 29, 2013
/PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Gujarat Technological University (GTU) and IEEE
have announced an offering of educational services and technical
material to GTU and its affiliated colleges in Gujarat.
Under
IEEE Computer Society's Registered Education Provider (REP) program,
GTU will provide its students with the SWEBOK Certificate Program (SCP)
and the Certified Software Development Associate (CSDA) and Certified
Software Development Professional (CSDP) credentials.
GTU
students who complete one or more modules in the SCP series and an
independent assessment will be awarded an IEEE certificate recognized by
corporations worldwide for software engineering proficiency. IEEE
Computer Society will provide Train-The-Teacher (TTT) workshops enabling
GTU to designate teachers and trainers for programs, and provide access
to the Computer Society's TechLeader OnLine e-learning courses and
TechLeader OnDemand webinars.
"This
important collaboration is significant not only for IEEE and GTU, but
for the students who will be taking advantage of new learning options to
further their technical education and become part of the global
workforce," said Angela Burgess ,
IEEE Computer Society Executive Director. "We are looking forward to
working with GTU to help advance the cause of technical education, be it
through certificates, online courses, webinars, or standards
development.
The SCP,
consisting of four learning modules with 25-plus hours of instruction
each, was created to raise a university student's understanding and
proficiency of the 15 Knowledge Areas in the Guide to the Software
Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), which provides the basis for
IEEE Computer Society software development certifications.
The CSDA,
designed for entry-level software developers, is intended to provide
undergraduate computer science and software engineering students their
first credential toward a solid career foundation as a software
development practitioner. The CSDP,
designed for mid-career professionals, helps software developments
demonstrate their commitment to the profession and confirms their
proficiency in the software development field.
"IEEE,
through this long-term partnership program with GTU, fosters programs
like the Faculty Development Program, IEEE standards education, and
technical support for projects, which help GTU faculty and students to
be on par with those of global universities," said Harish Mysore,
Director India Operations of IEEE.
The
IEEE Standards Association will conduct standards workshops at GTU to
further student and faculty understanding of international standards
development processes. The IEEE Educational Activities unit will conduct
technical communication courses for engineering students and faculty
and establish an award for the best innovative idea.
