Systems and Advanced Topics in Software Engineering. Supervise undergraduate
projects and Master's and Doctoral theses.
July 2003 - Present
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Worcester, Massachusetts
Associate Professor. Teach undergraduate courses in Object-Oriented Introduction to
Programming, Software Engineering, and Object Oriented Analysis and Design. Teach
graduate courses in Design of Software Systems and Advanced Topics in Software
Engineering. Supervise undergraduate projects and Master's and Doctoral theses.
4. Teaching Innovations
4.1 Undergraduate Innovations
1.
Organized brown-bag luncheon series to better integrate object-oriented
technology into the undergraduate curriculum. A result of these meetings
was the introduction of CS 1006, Object-Oriented Introduction to
Programming, first taught by Prof. Gennert as an experimental course in
term E 98-99.
2.
Revised computer science undergraduate course CS 3733 Software
Engineering. For each course, I designed a single software system
composed of six individual software components. The students are divided
into groups each responsible for developing a single software component.
Each student group collaborated with other groups to assemble final
system using components developed by other groups.
3.
As part of Undergraduate Committee revised early curriculum to have an
increased emphasis on design. The resulting course, CS 2102, ObjectOriented Design Concepts, was taught for the first time in 2004 B.
4.
Worked to redefine the way the CS students present their MQP and the
departmental oversight of the best MQP of the year award. Also improved
the department’s ability to match students with potential projects and
teammates.
4.2 Graduate Innovations
1.
Revised graduate course CS 562 Advanced Topics in Software
Engineering to be a true research seminar. Each student actively
participates in scholarship by conducting literature reviews and preparing
a research presentation. This course has resulted in two conference
publications jointly authored with students (publications C10 and C11 in
Section 9.3).
2.
Taught special topics course C525-M on techniques for Modular Software
Composition. This is an advanced graduate course in Software
Engineering. The collected course notes produced during the class (nearly
200 pages) form the basis for a planned treatise on advanced techniques in
software modularity.
5. Courses Taught at WPI
5.1 Course Titles
CS 1006 Object-Oriented Introduction to Programming: This course introduces computer
programming, with emphasis on object-oriented programs.
CS 2102 Object-Oriented Design Concepts: This course introduces students to an objectoriented model of programming. By emphasizing design, this course shows how to
implement small defect-free programs and evaluate design decisions to select an optimal
design under specific assumptions.
CS 3733 Software Engineering: This course introduces software design topics pertinent
to the waterfall life cycle model. Topics include requirements analysis and specification,
architectural design, module testing, and system integration.
CS 4233 Object-Oriented Analysis and Design: This course provides the student an indepth experience into the analysis and design of Object-Oriented systems.
CS 509 Design of Software Systems: This course focuses on the high-level design aspects
of software engineering.
CS 525B Advanced Tutoring Systems: This course is taught primarily by Neil Heffernan;
I am teaching 3 of the 14 lectures, presenting software engineering concepts and
technology relevant to the design and implementation of Advanced Tutoring Systems.
CS 525M Special Topics Course on techniques for Modular Software Composition : This
advanced software engineering special topics course investigates the issue of modularity
in theory and practice.
CS 562 Advanced Topics in Software Engineering: This course focuses on the non-design
aspects of software engineering in a seminar-style offering.
ID 525 Business Assessment of Information Technologies: This course was co-taught
with WPI professors John Orr (ECE), Chick Kasouf (MG), Len Polizzotto (ECE), and
David Cyganski (ECE). This course was created for Lucent Technology's Financial
Leadership and Development Program (FLDP). This course teaches the student the
technical fundamentals of information technologies from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The student will be taught basic science and engineering principles designed for nonengineering managers and the impact of technological change on customers, competition,
and the firm (Lucent Technology). Course offered in Nov. 1999 and again in Nov. 2000.
CS 525 191B Special Topics: Advance Topics in Tutoring Systems. This course was led
by Prof. Heffernan and co-taught by Murali Mani and Prof. Heineman. In four lectures,
Prof. Heineman provided a Software Engineering perspective on the web-based
technologies used by Tutoring Systems.
CS 509 Design of Software Systems: I taught this course at several corporate locations as
part of WPI’s Corporate and Professional Education: Raytheon (Summer 2008 and 2009),
EMC (2009).
CS 525E Special Topics Course on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). I taught this
course at Raytheon (Summer 2010) in Marlboro, Massachusetts.

Engineering: Putting the Pieces Together, 880 pp., Addison-Wesley,
Boston, MA, June 2001.
In 1999 at the Second Workshop on Component-Based Software
Engineering (CBSE), Bill Councill and I realized that the Software
Engineering community needed a comprehensive text on CBSE. We
developed a definition chapter to clearly define the terms used within
this emerging field. Over the course of eighteen months, we invited
forty internationally respected authors with expertise from academia
and industry to contribute. All authors agreed to adopt the consensus
definition chapter when writing their chapter, and we edited the book
heavily to ensure a consistent style. This book provides the first
comprehensive approach to the emerging field of Component-Based
Software Engineering.
B2.
G. T. Heineman, G. Pollice, and S. Selkow, “Algorithms in a Nutshell”,
O’Reilly Media, Inc., Oct. 2008, oreilly.com/catalog/9780596516246/.
Creating robust software requires the use of efficient algorithms, but
programmers seldom think about them until a problem occurs.
Algorithms in a Nutshell describes a large number of existing
algorithms for solving a variety of problems, and helps you select and
implement the right algorithm for your needs -- with just enough math
to let you understand and analyze algorithm performance.
With its focus on application, rather than theory, this book provides
efficient code solutions in several programming languages that you
can easily adapt to a specific project. Each major algorithm is
presented in the style of a design pattern that includes information to
help you understand why and when the algorithm is appropriate.

15.2 Professional Organization
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) holds an Annual International
Collegiate Programming Contest (see acm.baylor.edu). In the contest for the past year, a
total of 2,700 teams competed, representing 1,079 universities in 70 countries on six
continents. To reach the world finals, teams composed of three students must first
compete in regional competitions; because of the large number of colleges and
universities in the Northeast North America region, an additional regional preliminary
competition is held. The organizer of a preliminary competition is responsible for writing
the contest programming questions, managing a team of judges to evaluate the contest,
and overseeing the six-hour event.

America Collegiate Programming Contest. A total of 25 student teams
from 23 colleges and universities competed, Oct. 1998.
