Prerequisites: CSIS 3750. SENG 4800 Software Architecture, Modeling, and Analysis (4 credits) This course examines the modeling and analysis tools that are essential to documenting and evaluating design decisions and alternatives. Topics include modeling principles and properties of programming languages, pre and post conditions, syntax vs. semantics, and explicitness; types of models such as informational, behavioral, structural, domain oriented, and functional; formal analysis methods such as traceability, prioritization, trade-off, risk, and impact analysis; architectural design trade-offs, evolution processes, and evolution activities. Edu Internship SEEN 4570 Secondary English Education Internship (12 credits) This course for Secondary English Education majors offers a comprehensive review and practical application of educational philosophy, methods, and strategies through a 12-week clinical experience (internship) consisting of 450 hours in an English classroom setting that includes coursework and seminars. The central coursework is composed of a 12-week clinical experience, with the concurrent seminar serving as a supportive and reinforcing component. During the seminar sessions, the teacher candidate will explore, in depth, such topics as school board rules, regulations and policies; professional ethics; best practices; national and state standards; teaching strategies; current trends in education; teaching competencies; student assessment; and reflective practices. This course requires candidates to demonstrate professional, pedagogical, and content standards, including ESOL competencies and skills.
