Conference Object Citation Count: 0The Efficiency of Software Methodologies Used in Artificial Intelligence-Based Biomedical Projects(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Kalem, Güler; Vesek,M.C.; Yalim,H.K.; Software EngineeringSafety critical software usage areas are increasing day by day, and biomedical software applications are one of them which is a promising and ever-evolving branch. This study is designed to investigate the efficiency of software methodologies used in artificial intelligence-based biomedical projects. To identify issues and controversies regarding the agile development of safety critical software and key features, this research compares and identifies which methodology, waterfall or agile, is more effective for safety critical systems. A literature has been reviewed with a research design of find, evaluate, extract, and comprehend the findings of the studies. Research findings show that there are central points of interest and recommendations which is extracted from literature and then combined into conceptual model in order to understand the key difficulties of agile software development in safety critical systems. The software development methodologies such as Scrum and Extreme Programming, that are agile strategies adopt an iterative and incremental approach, are deemed appropriate in the development of biomedical software projects. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Article Citation Count: 3Online Learning Perceptions amid COVID-19 Pandemic: The Engineering Undergraduates' Perspective(Tempus Publications, 2022) Eryılmaz, Meltem; Kalem, Güler; Kılıç, Hürevren; Topallı, Damla; Turhan, Cihan; Yazıcı, Ali; Yazici,A.; Energy Systems Engineering; Information Systems Engineering; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringThe COVID-19 pandemic caused face-to-face education in just about all universities worldwide to shift to online education. For most students, this educational model was a compulsory first experience. In this study, the survey results are analyzed and discussed related to a group of students in the Engineering Faculty of a university in Turkey regarding their online education perceptions. Briefly summarized, the findings of the study indicate that: (a) most of the students still prefer face-to-face learning, which is also favored if accompanied by distance learning; (b) the concentration level ol the students has dropped due to the concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic which affects their learning negatively; and (c) around half of the students participating in the study feel that the online exams conducted without a secure exam software, is considered unsafe. Additionally, the study's results were further extended to evaluate the questionnaire results an reported along with the suggestions of necessary actions in emergency online learning (EOL). © 2022 Tempus Publications.

In this context within university settings, the ICT senior project courses were no exception either. This study presents the recommendations for a hybrid curriculum based on the online implementation of a, senior project course in the ICT departments of an engineering faculty. The data were collected to better understand the impact of this restructured course on 99 undergraduate IT students and their projects during three semesters, and later analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to obtain some insights. The results indicate that, during the pandemic, the students adapted their senior project studies to the related restrictions by changing certain aspects related to the project, improving their teamwork, and increasing the level of communication. However, they also reported certain problems related to their overall psychology as well as social interactions. In light of the pandemic effect on the software industry towards remote working environments, further suggestions are provided to eliminate the drawbacks of remote working reported by the students and to equip them with the necessary skills. The resulting recommendations could be used by other highereducation institutions and be further adjusted for application in other disciplines. © 2023 TEMPUS Publications.
