Abstract

Translate

This work introduces an innovative program for training the next generation of software engineers within university settings, addressing the limitations of traditional software engineering courses. Initial program costs were significant, totaling $551,420 in direct expenditures to pay for program staff salaries and benefits over two years. We present a strategy for reducing overall costs and establishing sustainable funding sources to perpetuate the program, which has yielded educational, research, professional, and societal benefits.
