STEMskiller: Skill Set Map for Mentors of Early Career Researchers

RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP: Research data

[Working with data]

Software usage and development

Definition:

As with programming/coding, early career researchers may be called upon to design new software but may lack fundamental courses in software development and user-centered approaches. Mentors can assign mentees with self-guided resources such as those listed in this section. 

Useful resources on Software usage and development:

Miller, R. & Goldman, M. (2016). Software construction. MIT OpenCourseWare. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-005-software-construction-spring-2016/

Syllabus, readings, assignments, quizzes, exams and solutions.
