This week in IPPD, we attended a Salary Negotiation workshop presented by Dr Erin Lin from  the Career Connections Center. Despite its name, the workshop covered so much more than how to go about negotiating salary. In addition to learning about salary negotiation, Dr Lin provided a lot of useful insight in how to better interview for jobs. Beyond this workshop, we also discussed the importance of engineering ethics and a series of case studies involving ethical issues.

Outside of class, we have primarily set our focus on Prototype Inspection day. Over the course of the past few weeks, we have been developing wireframes that show our envisionment of new features requested to be added to the program. In addition to this, we have also been working on completing a CherryPy tutorial so that we can also show some demo code for prototype inspection day. Other than this, we have been working on resolving a networking issue with the current version of the program not being accessible to users over UF’s network. Because of this issue, our CTF has needed to be pushed back, but we are now in contact with our Coach, Liaison, and UF IT to attempt to resolve the problem asap. Once this is complete and prototype inspection day is behind us, it will finally be time to officially host our initial CTF.
