Agenda for CSE Department Meeting 10-4-23

Exploration Day : Saturday November 4th

• What students will be shown that day:
  • can we do a alum panel
  • sensor net lab? sysadmins? security club? gamedev? research?
• Short paragraph about our department that can be given to students.
  

  The Computer Science and Engineering department offers bachelor degrees in computer science, management, information technology, business management, and management of technology. A balance of theory and practical skills prepares students to work in industry, government agencies, and graduate studies leading to academic careers. Our graduates are highly sought-after in the marketplace.

DEAB notes

• Aly asked for materials to be used for advertising our distance programs. Kim may be willing to help. EMGT, do you need any help with materials preparation?
• CS: there is continued discussion about whether the MS or PhD program should be marketed as do-able via distance. We had a productive discussion last meeting, but I don't recall a consensus or decision.
• There was a proposal last meeting regarding whether to develop a departmental proctoring mechanism. That sounds like it may be useful, independent of other decisions.
• Require instructor permission to register for 525-01D
• Further discussion of proctoring options. NMT tendency is to push everything down to departments.

Assessments and Program Reviews Status Check

• Management faculty: anything to report?
• CS: a couple of the commiittee chairs have sent me reports, can we please put reports 1-6 in the share drive

Analog.com (ADI) directed research proposal

NMT EE Alum Samantha Jaramillo of ADI writes: "I'm interested in a long term partnership with the NMT CS department where both organizations benefit and I hope this class/project is the first step. I look forward to talking with any faculty interested in working on this with me." The text of her directed research topic proposal:

Develop a software system that simulates and analyzes network traffic in an industrial setting using TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) features. Students will study existing open-source network modeling frameworks and determine best fit for inclusion of TSN features. Based on guidance from ADI industry experts, students will incorporate modeling and analysis capabilities into the framework for TSN features such as scheduled traffic (802.1Qbv) and/or preemption (802.1Qbu). Students will create a comprehensive test plan to determine accuracy and efficiency of framework model. Students will report on effectiveness of the model.

Outputs:

1. Network modeling framework trade study
2. Modified network model source code with TSN feature capabilities
3. Test plan and code for verification of network model
4. Test report on network model

ADI Provides:

1. Process support in terms of requirements guidelines, analysis, and review
2. Access to IEEE specifications for TSN features with guidance and interpretation from industry experts
3. Operational details of TSN features in hardware to support model settings
4. Access to software development environment via ADI licensed laptop

NMT Faculty Provides:

1. Tactical monitoring of students at least weekly
2. Expertise in network analysis
   1. Existing modeling tools
   2. Effective simulation analytics
3. Support in publication to the open-source community
