Joint Advanced Student School - JASS 2017

Motivation and goal

There is lots of evidence of the following statements:

• project-driven project-based education is much more effective in Software Engineering and other technical areas than ‘classic’ (lectures + labs) methods; renewal of the full classic courses could be totally outdated due to a very fast technology upgrade in IT;
• real professionalism in software engineering relies not only on design, coding, math… but also on communication, collaboration and similar skills;
• working on real projects is much more motivating than synthetic tasks;
• students who have work experience in international team are much more prepared for professional activities in software companies around the world.

The main goal of the school is to create a place where a group of students and professors from different countries could implement short-term, project-oriented and project-driven education in joint international teams.

Event format

The event should include [at least] next types of activities:

• Invited lectures and/or master classes on selected technologies;

Lectures/classes should be provided by Russian and German professors/professionals. The main goal is to give the technology overview; to help students to (make a big picture) get the picture of a particular domain, help to acquire a holistic comprehension of problems, solutions and challenges.

• Work on projects in joint international student teams

This part of the event is the implementation of project-driven education. Students within joint international teams (2, 4 or 6 students in each team) develop small projects in order to apply a new domain knowledge to a particular project. Each project is being developed by team under Track supervisor (monitoring) control.
