Mission Statement
To provide a challenging and
rewarding environment for the development of students and faculty,
one that enables important
contributions to the professional community and the software engineering
discipline.
The Embry-Riddle University/Software Center was created in summer
of 1996. The center is designed to involve students and faculty
in software engineering research by engaging industry sponsored
projects. The partnership between the VERITAS Software Corporation
and Embry-Riddle University has been established in the Spring
of 2004.
The program’s vision is to advance Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University’s leadership in the field of software quality
assurance, and highly dependable software. VERITAS partnership
allows for valuable industry feedback. This feedback is used as
a means to measure the viability and success of the program’s
mission: to facilitate the professional development of both students
and faculty.
The research conducted provides faculty with valuable information
to taken both back to the classroom environment, as well as transmitted
back to VERITAS through faculty exchange programs.
This program provides full VERITAS Research Assistantship opportunities
for selected Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University prospective or
current Masters Software Engineering students. In addition, this
program provides an opportunity for involved students to be considered
for summer internship at various VERITAS locations.
The student researchers are given the opportunity to explore topics
that they would not learn in class. The students are encouraged
to develop their own research focus, with the guidance of their
faculty advisor. The students are also encouraged to have their
work professionally published, and to present their findings at
conferences. This exposure both increases the level of technical
maturity of the students and provides positive public expose to
both Embry-Riddle and VERITAS.
