Rational Seed Program
Cranes Varsity, an ISO 9001:2000 Company, and a division of Cranes Software International, has been working very closely with the educational community and providing them with world-class scientific software and engineering solutions in the domain areas of DSP, RTOS and Mathematical Modeling and Simulation. Keeping with that tradition, Cranes introduces Rational Software Engineering for Educational Development SEED in partnership with Rational Software-the worlds leading Software engineering solutions provider.
- Right Tools.
- Best Practices.
- Brilliant Minds.
Software engineering is an increasingly vital academic discipline, in fact, many educational institutions have even established formal degree programs in software engineering and most CSE departments offer graduate courses in SE. But still graduates are finding themselves far short of industry standards as far as software engineering methodologies are concerned.
The reason? The CSE graduates simply don’t have a platform to practice these methodologies in a structured manner in their projects. But the Rational SEED program brought to you by Cranes is tailor made to address this problem. It exposes the student/professor to industry standard de-facto software engineering tools and best practices.
This program enables students to gain experience with Rational’s software development tools, technologies and best practices while still in the classroom, helping decrease their learning curve when they start software development jobs after graduating. Companies also benefit by hiring graduates who have the skills to instantly contribute to their software development projects.
By having access to Rational’s latest software, courseware and technical content for hands-on use by students in the classroom, professors have been able to develop a stronger, more comprehensive curriculum that has given their students a competitive advantage in the job market.
The Rational Cranes Edge
Software development involves multiple stakeholders: executives, project managers, and practitioners, each of whom has to overcome the various development obstacles to reach their individual goals and the stated project goal.
Rational has its own software engineering process called the Rational Unified Process.
The 6 Best Practices identified by Rational is incorporated into the Rational suite.
The Rational solution liberates teams from the obstacles that hinder creativity and delay results.
Cranes delivers the education and training your team requires on the Rational suite.
Cranes has long played a leadership role in the software development community and has actively collaborated with other industry experts to advance the practice of software development and training.
