A WVU Statler College news release has just been published about an exciting new transformation our program is undergoing with a partnership with Coursera.

“Nearly ten years ago, West Virginia University joined Coursera to enable anyone, anywhere to learn from the leading faculty and researchers at WVU. Today, we are proud to expand that partnership. Now, learners worldwide can earn the most transformative credential, a degree, from WVU on Coursera,” said Betty Vandenbosch, Chief Content Officer at Coursera. “This affordable, top-ranked program will help students advance their software engineering career by becoming subject matter experts in this growing field.”

We, at the WVU Online Software Engineering Graduate Programs, are excited and proud of all our graduates for all they have accomplished. When we learn about their success we share them with the world!  Even when we don’t know, we know they are outstanding WVU Mountaineers hard at work.  Because, you know Mountaineers Go First!

Our recent graduate, Joe Oliverio, has been promoted! After the company he is working for heard about having earned the Master of Science in Software Engineering from WVU, he quickly advanced to his new position. Joe is currently working for a Fortune 500 company. The company decided to make him the business lead on a massive software project after he had just received the MSSE this year. He has weekly meetings with multiple Vice Presidents and has the opportunity to present his own work to the President of the company.  As he states in an e-mail to the WVU Online Software Engineering Graduate Program Director, “this degree has opened doors I never would have imagined for myself”.

Two student researchers, Paul MacLean and Joshua Hernandez, from LCSEE under the direction of Dr. Mr. Dale Dzielski, CMA, PMP, SAFe 4 Agilist and Dr. Tom Devine, Co-PIs, (pictured above) provided their Final Research Report Presentation for NASA IV&V under the WV Space Grant Consortium for Research Area 4 – Data Analytics for Assessing System Risk on February 9, 2022.  Over 90 NASA government technical personnel and contractors were present across several NASA facilities including Fairmont and Langley.  Their research focused on the development of a novel Effort Assessment Methodology to support improvement of prediction of refactoring efforts for future releases.  A paper has been submitted to a conference for publication awaiting acceptance decision.

Two student researchers, Maximillian Campbell and Mallory Anderson, from LCSEE under the direction of Dr. Tom Devine, PI, (pictured below) as well as Dale Dzielski and David Krovich, Co-PIs, provided their Final Research Report Presentation for NASA IV&V under the WV Space Grant Consortium for Research Area 3 – Exploration of Techniques for Evaluating Binary Code on February 9, 2022.  Over 90 NASA government technical personnel and contractors were present across several NASA facilities including Fairmont and Langley AFB.  Their research focused on the evaluation of Software Reverse Engineering Products by using static code analysis to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities.  A paper has been submitted to a conference for publication awaiting acceptance decision.

WVU has been named one of the best colleges in the nation for online master’s degree programs in computer engineering. Six percent of postsecondary institutions earned a ranking position in 2022.
