Abstract
Class assignments should have more relevance to the real world. There is not enough time to have a realistic project in a class, but a realistic project would give the students a taste of the real world.We attacked this problem by merging two classes, Introduction to Database Systems and Software Engineering I, thereby allowing enough time for a more meaningful final project. We chose to use a loosely coupled approach to merging our classes.

The sometimes harsh reality of real world computer science projects
Real world projects for senior level software engineering courses offer many advantages for students and others involved. Because of the nature of the projects and the people involved, however, many problems can arise during the design and ...
Closing the Sim-to-Real Loop: Adapting Simulation Randomization with Real World Experience
2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)We consider the problem of transferring policies to the real world by training on a distribution of simulated scenarios. Rather than manually tuning the randomization of simulations, we adapt the simulation parameter distribution using a few real world ...
