Career Paths: Software Engineering Student's Book (+ Cross-platform Application)

 

1.  Email

 

Hey Tim,

 

I heard you have some bugs with your latest project. I know you're new to the company. This is what works for me when I address problems.

 

The most important part of problem soving is problem identification. Remember to take a calm approach to the situation. Start with a complete analysis of possible causes. Then, check established procedures for solving common problems. Finding the problem is often the toughest step. But once you do that, application(적용) of a solution is usually easy.

 

With an iterative process like ours, things can be a little frustrating(답답하다). With each iteration, the software is redefined. This means that everything we develop presents new problems. Creating a synthesis of two different solutions is especially difficult. Luckily, there's a solution for every problem. If you can't find it, somebody else here surely can. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance.

 

I hope this helps! Good luck on your project!

 

Amanda

2. Reading

Read the email. Then, mark the following statements as true(T) or false(F).

 

1. Checking for established procedures is the first recommended step. F

2. An iterative development process presents fewer problems than other types of processes. F

3. According to the email, solutions are usually easy to apply. T

 

 

3. Vocabulary

Q1. Match the words or phrases with the definitions.

 

A. application : the action of putting something into operation

B. approach : a way of viewing or dealing with something

C. iterative : intended to be updated continually

D. problem identification : the act of analyzing and describing problems

E. problem solving: the ability to eliminate problems

F. synthesis: a combination of multiple elements or things

 

 

Q2. Read the sentence pairs. Choose which word best fits each blank.

 

1. address / redefine

A. An updated version of a product can redefine the purpose of the product.

B. It's important to address problems with efficiency.

 

*address: 다루다

 

2. analysis / solution

A. Once the cause of a problem has been identified, it is easier to find a solution.

B. Conducting an analysis of a problem is a good first step in problem solving.

 

3. iteration / procedure

A. Each iteration of a product should feature improvements on the last one.

B. A procedure gives instruction for completing a process.

 

3. Listening

 

 

Engineer1: Hey. How is your project going?

Engineer2: Not very well. I'm still having a lot of problems when I try to run the software.

Engineer1: Really? What have you done to fix it?

Engineer2: I did a quick analysis of the code.

Engineer1: Have you tried anything else?

Engineer2: Yeah, I ran some standard debugging procedures. Then I tried applying some common solution.

Engineer1: Huh. What will you do next?

Engineer2: Well, I just started a more detailed analysis of all the code.

 

 

 

 

4. Writing

 

Complete the instructions for problem solving.

 

[Problem Solving Procedure]

 

1. Identify the problem. A good way to do this is to complete an analysis of the project and think about possible causes of the problem.

 

2. Think of a solution. It's a good idea to think of a few possible solutions for the problem.

 

3. Apply the solution. A good way to do this is to try a synthesis of multiple solutions.

 

4. Complete an analysis to ensure that the problem has been fully resolved.
