Teams Battling Teams: Introducing Software Engineering Education in the First-Year with RoboCode

John Georgas is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona. He holds the Ph.D and M.S. degrees from the Department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. He also holds a B.S. degree in Computer Science from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. His research interests include selfadaptive software systems, software architecture, domain-specific architectures, social aspects of software engineering, software engineering education, component-based systems, architectural styles, architectural description languages, and systems-of-systems modeling. His doctoral work focused on supporting selfadaptive software using an architectureand policy-based approach with an emphasis on the robotics domain.
