Abstract

The Computer Sciences department is currently involved in various tool technology transfer activities including the use, development, enhancement and evaluation of CASE software as class projects, and a software engineering laboratory for the synthesis of software. Industry cooperation efforts include continuing education courses, beta testing, and joint projects in which university and industry personnel share hardware and software as well as expertise. These endeavors are described briefly and a short synopsis of benefits, problem areas and some possible solutions provided.
