As a senior majoring in Computer Science, my journey through software development has been filled with moments of curiosity, challenge, and growth. While I’ve spent the past few years learning programming languages, algorithms, and data structures, I’ve recently begun to explore a deeper and more structured side of building software — Software Construction, Design, and Architecture. This area has opened my eyes to the “why” and “how” behind the systems we use every day, not just the “what” of writing code.
Getting into software architecture has helped me understand how large systems are planned, how different components communicate, and how design choices can affect performance, scalability, and maintainability. It’s exciting to see how the principles of clean code, design patterns, and architectural styles all come together to create robust and reliable applications. As I continue this journey, I’m looking forward to sharing what I learn, the challenges I face, and how these concepts influence the way I think about building software.

Hello, this is Benjamin Santos Patrocinio with this blog I want to reflect upon what I did over this summer vacation. First let me explain what I did over the summer primarily, I took 3 summer classes to finish my general electives in school. During classes over summer I looked at other blogs and podcasts to learn about new topics in programming. For a couple of weeks I started to learn more about algorithm analysis, memory. The reason why I wanted to learn more about these topics is because I want to improve as a programmer.
With programming even though knowledge is available from blogs, textbooks, videos and courses it is a field where programmers have to continuously learn. Being able to learn about new topics and even be able to use the skills are really important. Furthermore, I want to use this time to make a portfolio that can help standout and use all the skills I have learned. What I did first is find textbooks and documents I want to learn from. In order to build a plan to learn on my off time. In order to not be burned out, I would read textbooks and watch videos on youtube to learn more about certain topics. Also a few times a week I would try to solve a few getcracked.io questions (just an alternative leetcode platform). So that I can get better at interview questions and find out which topics I did not really know.

Hello everyone, my name is Rick Djouwe, and this semester I am beginning CS 343: Software Construction, Design & Architecture. I am truly excited for this class because it represents the next step in strengthening my ability to think beyond coding and focus on building well-structured, scalable, and maintainable software systems.
CS 343 covers a wide range of essential topics in modern software development, including:
In short, this course is not just about writing code, it’s about learning to think like a software engineer who can approach problems critically, design solutions thoughtfully, and work effectively with others.
Through CS 343, I will gain valuable experience in:
These outcomes connect directly to the broader goals of my Computer Science major: analyzing problems, building solutions, and developing the professional skills needed to succeed in the field.
As someone pursuing a career as a software engineer specializing in artificial intelligence, this course will help me strengthen the foundations of software design and architecture that are critical in building intelligent, scalable systems. Beyond my academic goals, I also see a strong connection to my current role as an Automation Developer at The Hanover Insurance Group, where I contribute to projects that rely on thoughtful design, testing, and collaboration. The principles and practices I learn here will make me more effective in my work today while preparing me for even greater responsibilities in the future.
I am eager to reflect on my progress throughout the semester, connect this material with experiences across my other courses, and apply these lessons directly to both my professional role and long-term career.
For me, CS 343 is more than a class, it’s a bridge between where I am now and the kind of innovative, responsible, and skilled software engineer I strive to become. I am also excited to meet everyone in this course and learn from each other as we move forward together. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect, collaborate, or study together this semester!
