ACM Career Talk Series – 1
How to make yourself comfortable with coding interviews
Chetan Sai Kumar Thalisetty, 2nd year Master student in C. E.
2 pm – 3 pm Friday, November 3, 2017, ITE 217, UMBC
Getting first-hand knowledge on anything is a privilege, particularly when it helps enhancing your career. The speaker will shed light on ways to prepare for coding interviews drawing on his own experiences, both mentally and technically. He would also indulge the audience on the interview that led him to get the job.
The UMBC ACM Student Chapter welcomes you to the Hi-Tea event.
An opportunity to mingle, network, explore ideas, collaborate and treat yourself to a tea and snacks while you’re at it!
We welcome one and all!
Date: Thursday, November 2, 2017
Time: 1.30 pm-2.00 pm

Special thanks to Olivia and we are grateful for the support.
We, the ACM student chapter and the CSEE department are delighted to invite you to our picnic.
Prepare yourself to have delightful conversations with other peers and professors, to keep abreast with the upcoming ACM tech events and to request hands-on workshops required for this academic year.
We at the CSEE department particularly the ACM student chapter, look forward to seeing you stop by for a refreshing bite and some relaxing conversations, before zooming back into the busy semester.
Date: Tuesday, October 10th
Time: 12:00pm-2:00pm
Location: University Center 312
Limited to CSEE Faculty, Staff & Students.
The April Baltimore Code Craftsmanship practice will be held at Betamore the premier startup incubator in Baltimore. Come hone your software skills, mingle with the crowd, develop connections for the future. This is also a chance to enjoy the Federal Hill nightlife after the meeting. The meeting will be held in conjunction with UMBC ACM Student Chapter. The event is open to all UMBC students, however programming ability is required. Interested faculty members can join in too! This can also be a good opportunity to network with professionals from various companies and get yourself noticed for any job opportunities that exist.
When: Thursday, April 24th, 6.30 pm (Networking)
Where: 1111 Light Street, 4th Floor Baltimore MD
This is a hands on coding user group with no presentations. Each meeting will be a dojo where we will go through a challenging software craftsmanship exercise that focuses on clean code, test-driven development, design patterns, and refactoring. We will pair up and practice on a kata in order to learn and apply the values, principles, and disciplines of software craftsmanship. Come with your laptop equipped with your favorite programming and automated unit testing environment. If you don’t have a laptop, come anyway, we will need only one laptop for every two people. Be prepared to pair up, learn, share and have fun!

We would like to invite you for the next talk in our UMBC ACM techTalk Research@CSEE series. Professor Mohammad Raunak, who is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Loyola University Maryland will talk about “Quantifying validation of Non-Testable Programs”. Dr. Raunak will talk about his work in developing verification as well as validation approaches for software testing and how it can extended to non-testable programs.
Abstract: An important aspect of software testing is the development and use of different adequacy criteria, often referred to ascoverage criteria. These criteria help guide verification and validation (V&V) activities, and thus improve overall quality of software. However, all adequacy criteria assume the presence of test-oracles, which is not applicable for the set of programs often termed as `non-testable.’ Simulations, machine learning algorithms, and other non-deterministic software are examples of such programs. There has been little research to develop verification or validation related adequacy criteria for these types of programs. In this paper, we argue that developing such adequacy criteria are not only possible, but crucial for quantifying and communicating how well V&V activities have been applied on a program. We propose one approach to a validation coverage criteria and indicate how it can be extended to other V&V related coverage criteria for `non-testable’ programs.
Speaker Bio: Mohammad Raunak is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Loyola University Maryland. His primary research interest involves verification, validation, and analysis of complex software and simulation systems. He is also interested in modeling and analyzing software and other human-intensive processes. Dr. Raunak received his MS and PhD in Computer Science from University of Massachusetts Amherst. His email and web addresses are raunak@loyola.edu and http://www.cs.loyola.edu/~raunak/.
