What’s New?- SIGCSE 2020 is next week!
We’ll present I won’t be attending live, due to public health conditions right now; I’ll probably post a video instead, so watch this space. Our paper is What Agile processes should we use in software engineering project courses? by An Ju, Adnan Hemani, Yannis Dimitriadis (Univ. de Valladolid, Spain), and me. ACE Lab will also be represented by posters and panels by undergrad Mansi Shah, grad students Nate Weinman and Renaldo Williams, and panels including or moderated by Prof. Dan Garcia. - Our 2009 paper Predicting Multiple Metrics for Queries: Better Decisions Enabled by Machine Learning (lead author: Archana Ganapathi, PhD 2010) was honored with the 2019 ICDE Influential Paper Award!

- New Berkeley/edX Professional Certificate in Blockchain is announced, based on student-designed DeCal courses
- The UC system stands out among both public and private universities in both enrolling socioeconomically-disadvantaged students and graduating them.
- My musing on the role of new credentials like the edX MicroMasters in the higher ed ecosystem.
- Berkeley joins the NSF-funded FLIP Alliance to dramatically increase diversity in the CS Professoriate. As a Campus Equity Advisor and CS Graduate Admissions Diversity Officer, I'm part of the delegation to FLIP.
Who Am I?
- Research: Professor in the Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences Department at the University of California, Berkeley, working primarily in the area of online education with the ACE Lab; ACM Distinguished Scientist, IEEE Senior Member
- Education: Winner of the 2015 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award for my efforts in scaling software engineering education, Faculty Advisor for Digital Learning Strategy (including the MOOCLab), Berkeley Digital Pedagogy Fellow and Certified Online Facilitator
- Writing: Co-author (with Prof. Dave Patterson) of the award-winning software engineering textbook Engineering Software as a Service: An Agile Approach Using Cloud Computing, and the co-creator of the longest-running MOOCs on edX on this topic.
- Diversity in CS: UC Berkeley Equity Advisor, CS Graduate Diversity Officer, UC Berkeley representative in CMD-IT FLIP Alliance, faculty sponsor of CS Scholars program. As a Cuban-American (long ago, my father’s family owned the Tropicana), I am particularly passionate about diversity in CS and about the value of education, as my mom’s memoirs suggest.
