The course, CS 160 Software Engineering, intends to educate on applying the fundamentals practice of software engineering through a team based project. For the term project, the requirement expected the group to develop a web application, which processes a user uploaded video to perform Facial Detection and display it as a playback video. Initially, the project description made it seem impossible achievement; however, the instructor’s introduction to software stack, which included OpenFace, FFmpeg, RDBMS systems, etc., allowed the team to construct a pipeline in order to deliver the project requirements. The initial step of our pipeline consists of accepting the user uploaded video, and serve it as an input to FFmpeg command, which would …show more content…
Initially, my idea was to FFmpeg’s node library to perform the tasks mentioned above; however, this approach turned out to be very challenging. Thus, I put forth the idea to use PHP to take advantage of shell execution in PHP. And eventually, my back-end role was set up shell executions in PHP, and then to retrieve output pass it along the pipeline. Besides my tasks, every member associated themselves with specific tasks to complete the remaining parts of the project. Mohnish took over the responsibility of configuring the setup of libraries and git repository of our project. Due to his knowledge of command line arguments, and working with MAMP, he was able to assist the team to install and build OpenFace, dlib, and FFmpeg libraries on our machines. Furthermore, he took responsibility of using OpenFace libraries to retrieve facial landmark points and track the head position of every image. While, Mohnish was working with OpenFace, Kirtan took over the responsibility of creating the schema on Firebase. Since, Kirtan had little exposure with Firebase API, he selected to implement the communication to database to either store or retrieve data, and also, assisted me to implement user authentication. Additionally, Kirtan figured out the implementation of tracking the pupil using eyelike. In amidst of constant code refactoring, Mohammad took the
As there is value in team collaboration, effective communication has equal importance in determining the success of a team.
For my business, I decided to open up an up-scale designer clothing store. In the city I live, we have a good amount of clothing stores but almost all are found at the local malls. I plan to find a large unit that’s surrounded by many businesses along with steady traffic flow.
Guidelines are created to ensure a success interview process. Setup meeting time with the individuals, which will be interviewed and be prepared and on time. When conducting the interview examine the background of the organization and have a checklist readily available.

Provide specific examples from your experience to illustrate these factors.
From the beginning of the live marketing project, Edmond's Historical Museum, to the end of the live presentation, I committed 100% of myself to the team by being actively involved. My first contribution was visiting the Edmond's Historical Museum on September 28th, 2017 where I gathered notes by effectively listening to Katie Kelly. This was for the purpose of being able to analyze the data at a later time. The data research that I was able to gleam from Katie, included that the museum is seeing a decline in their memberships, there was not enough volunteers to actively seek out renewals, and a majority of the Edmond's transplants moved changing the demographics, and that new exhibits would come
Our class is filled with students who all have different personalities and interests, so it would only seem fitting if the Crossdisciplinary Projects varied from person to person. These set of presentations were very interesting and entertaining to watch. From Danielle’s “Sweet Little Babies,” to Tyler’s demonstration on “How to Slay a Dragon,” they were all great. However, only one of the projects really stood out to me and it was James’ song based on John Donne’s sonnets. I am a person who really enjoys music, so it is no surprise that I would choose between Kaylee and James’ projects. Kaylee did a wonderful job setting Shakespeare’s sonnet to music, but I had to choose James’ project as my favorite because it sounded like the type of music
Even though I start off quiet, and may have problems with procrastination,. I should do well on this group projects long as I work in a small group where the work is disturbed evenly. Plus I am a very organized when it comes to group projects and writing essays. I take one step at a time and work with my group members and cooperate with distributing the work into four parts. Myer Briggs is known for the indicator test. Myer Briggs talks about how people take these test to indicate what type of personality they have. This test was made to see how people have their own personalities and understand them Myer Briggs developed a list for each personality: Introvert-Extravert, Sensing-Intuitive, Thinking- Feeling, Perceiving- Judging. All of these
When the project was first introduced, I was not happy and thought that it was just going to be another boring project, but as we continued to work and I began to understand the project better, it became much more interesting and I ended up really enjoying the process. I was in the social sciences group and at first, my group and I thought it was going to be easy, but the more we worked and talked to other groups, the more complicated it started to become. We realized that there are lots and lots of pieces that must fit together to form a perfect society. We really struggled with the other groups because they all disagreed with us including mentally ill and none of the groups were very understanding about our needs. They all asked “why do we
Football, unlike any sport that I have been a part of can define someone inside the classroom and within the gridiron. Character translates between the two and is something that I was always fascinated about. Someone that can show teamwork on the field are often able to show the same level of compassion and dedication in the classroom.
For the teamwork activity, my group decide to stay together so that we can decide on the best order for the activity. My group started the activity by going from most to least important. In the beginning we decided to each voice what we thought was the most important material on the list. If we did not agree on the same thing, we went around the group and voiced why we believed that specific material is the most important. Then, we would vote and come to an agreement on the final choice. This method allowed us to stay organized and move on in a timely manner so that we could complete the activity in the limited amount of time we had.

I think this is the perfect time for me to be involved in a team-based research project. I have enough background knowledge to work with others to successfully carry out research. Yet, on the other side of things, much more still remains in my study of anthropology. The new skills I will gain from this research experience will prove to be beneficial as I continue my education and I eventually run independent research projects. By working with a team to conduct anthropological research, I will be more prepared to complete independent anthropological research in the future and after completing the project, I will be able to appreciate the ethnographies of others more fully.
In my last year of high school, I joined the Yearbook team and it was the biggest team project that I have ever done. Working with thirty members to create this huge project became my most memorable achievement. Through writing and interviewing students for over eight months, the book meant to be as a collection of my team’s memory rather than a record of school events.
Last practices to improve would be Real world practice. This skill work with capabilities because as a coach it allows the person to provide their goal and plan for the company when it comes to growth. As a manager when you are provided with this information this is your opportunity to jump on board and help them reach that goal. You can do this by “help them find or create opportunities that stretch their capabilities” (Smithers & London, 2009). One prime example to do this is by calling them out on the spot to help someone or ask them the answer to the question.
