与行业导师的开源实习
Open-Source Internships With Industry Mentors
摘要:
实习帮助学生将他们在课堂上学到的东西与现实世界联系起来,有机会获得实习机会的学生更有可能毕业并获得就业。然而,许多学生在毕业时无法找到实习机会。这份经验报告描述了一个项目,志愿者软件工程师指导学生在夏季从事开源项目,作为传统实习经验的替代方案。我们对提供类似于传统实习的体验所涉及的考虑因素进行了分类,描述了我们的计划设计,并提供了两年的参与者评估和职业成果作为有效性的衡量标准。该计划主要服务于非R1学校的本科生,他们在技术方面的代表性不足,并取得了与传统实习计划相似的教育成果。最令人鼓舞的是,导师愿意为80%的学生提供专业参考,而获得全职技术工作的毕业生人数比平均水平高出7个百分点(尽管发生在COVID-19疫情期间)。
英文摘要:
Internships help students connect what they have learned in the classroom to the real world, and students with access to internships are more likely to graduate and secure employment. However, many students are unable to find an internship by the time they graduate. This experience report describes a program where volunteer software engineers mentor students as they work on open-source projects in the summer, offered as an alternative to a traditional internship experience. We catalog the considerations involved in providing an experience similar to a traditional internship, describe our program's design, and provide two years' worth of participant evaluations and career outcomes as a measure of efficacy. The program served mostly undergraduates from non-R1 schools who are underrepresented in technology, and achieved similar educational outcomes to a traditional internship program. Most promisingly, mentors were willing to serve as a professional reference for 80% of students and the number of graduating seniors who secured full-time employment in technology was 7 points higher than average (despite occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic).
