Programme charter
This was not a “theory-only” workshop. The goal was employability in software engineering roles: participants should understand what they built, why design decisions were made, and how to communicate that under interview pressure—while also improving quantitative and verbal aptitude where campus drives demand it.
Learning objectives (technical)
- Implement a multi-module Spring Boot service with clear boundaries and integration tests (intro)
- Design REST contracts with pagination, filtering, and problem+json-style errors
- Apply React patterns for data-heavy screens (tables, optimistic UI basics, error boundaries intro)
- Work with MySQL schemas, constraints, and simple performance hygiene (N+1 awareness)
- Use Git as a collaboration tool: feature branches, meaningful commits, and peer review checklist
- Package a demo with README, setup steps, and environment variables (12-factor mindset)
Learning objectives (placement track)
- Quantitative aptitude: ratios, percentages, time/work, basic permutations & combinations (exam-style drills)
- Verbal/logical reasoning: paragraph structure, inference, coding-decoding patterns where applicable
- STAR responses for HR screens; “tell me about a bug you fixed” using real lab incidents
- Résumé: one-page discipline, impact bullets, skills section grounded in repo evidence
- Mock panels: coding round (timed), technical Q&A, and HR screening rotation
Week-by-week arc (representative)
| Week | Technical theme | Employability theme |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Java refresh + Git + build tools | Goal setting, role map (SDE vs support vs test), aptitude baseline |
| 2 | Spring Boot REST + validation | Problem solving drills, company test patterns |
| 3 | JPA + transactions + auth basics | Mock coding (small), timeboxing strategies |
| 4 | React integration + E2E slice | Mock technical interview, feedback log |
| 5 | Capstone build + hardening | Full mock day (apt + tech + HR), portfolio review |
| 6 | Consolidation, demos, rework | Individual improvement plan & resources |
Live projects (minimum bar)
- Operations dashboard — admin vs user roles, audit-friendly actions, export CSV (intro)2. Capstone — scoped feature set with acceptance criteria signed off by mentors
Assessment model
- Daily lab submission (autograded where possible + mentor spot checks)- Weekly gate — short MCQ + mini coding task- Final demo — rubric covers correctness, clarity, tests, UX edge cases, and explanation depth
Who benefited most
