two different engineers must work together, falls to the software
engineer.

Architecture Stage:
The architecture of a software system refers to an
abstract representation of that system. Architecture is concerned
with making sure the software system will meet the requirements of
the product, as well as ensuring that future requirements can be
addressed. The architecture step also addresses interfaces between
the software system and other software products, as well as the
underlying hardware or the host operating system.
DONATING:
Function: giving your money away.
Goal: Help others out
Danger: People can become dependent
Advantage: You help the community

Social Voice Video
We live in a culture dominated by video. From five-hundred channel cable television to the millions of YouTube videos, we tell our stories through video. It is not surprising, then, that we choose video as one method of expressing our social voice. It is audio and visual. The camera can capture an element of the emotion that our writing cannot express. At the same time, we realize that there is a danger in being too entertaining and that video can have harmful effects on society.
We will begin various video projects starting in August. For the most part, we will attempt to do two "small videos" per week. This could be a social satire, a puppet show or an interview. In addition, we will begin planning our two larger video projects.
So, what should we choose as our documentary? What should we choose as our film? When can we work on creating the various video projects (given our strongly academic focus in class)?
These are the types of questions we will explore in-depth during the first week of school.
