Suggested Books (and NOT) CPSC Senior Seminar Bart Childs July 11, 2006

This applies to books for the book report and by implication also applies to the research paper. The bibliography is now required on all book reports and must include at least one \bibitem to be complete. Beware of the age of some of these, they may be in a new edition or now hopelessly out of date. A number of these are in a format that is too incomplete for a current paper. However, the author and title may be a help to you. Corrections are welcome!

Not Acceptable

The writing on these books/topics in recent semesters has been quite shallow. It will take a lot of work for you to make a reasonable CS/CE review.

References [1] Everything with dummy or dummies in the title is below the level that you should read. [2] Everything Y2K is now gone, probably.

[4] Petzold, Charles; Programming Windows; [5] Real World Interfacing With Your PC Just too low level. Many of us can learn a lot, but this is too low. [6] Harris Jr., Charles E.; Pritchard, Michael S.; and Rabins, Michael J. Engineering Ethics: Concepts and Cases Wadsworth Publishing, Reading, 1995. Not acceptable because it is the text of a required course. Many other standard textbooks for most of your courses will not meet the requirements. That is certainly true for all the CPSC and ELEN courses required of both Computer Science and Computer Engineering (CS/CE) curriculums. [7] Covey, Stephen, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People . . . This is a good and popular book but it is not about the computing professions. There are books about computing that address similar themes, find one of them.

Possible but . . .

Books on broad generalities can be used, but it will require some real writing and thought on your part to make an argument that this is really CS/CE related.

The student did a lot of good writing to flesh out what he thought was missing from his 320 course.
