Section Section 11.1 11.1 of the of the СС2001-CSСС2001-CS lists lists the the fivefive major characteristics that amajor characteristics that a CS-CS-graduate must possessgraduate must possess

One of the five characteristics is One of the five characteristics is ““significant project experiencesignificant project experience””::

• To ensure that graduates can successfully apply To ensure that graduates can successfully apply the knowledge they have gained, all students in the knowledge they have gained, all students in computer science programs must be involved in computer science programs must be involved in at least one substantial software project. Such a at least one substantial software project. Such a project demonstrates the practical application of project demonstrates the practical application of principles learned in different courses and forces principles learned in different courses and forces students to integrate material learned at different students to integrate material learned at different stages of the curriculumstages of the curriculum. .

WhyWhy . .NET?NET? For implementing software solutions, For implementing software solutions,

students need an appropriate development students need an appropriate development frameworkframework

A typical situation is modeled: an IT specialist needs to become familiar with new technology in bounded terms

..NET is a new technology promoted by NET is a new technology promoted by Microsoft Microsoft • Advantages:Advantages:

actively promoted by Microsoftactively promoted by Microsoft will be highly used in the nearest futurewill be highly used in the nearest future

Students learn only those elements of .NET Students learn only those elements of .NET Framework which are required for working on Framework which are required for working on practical taskspractical tasks
