Benefits of being an RCOS member

  • An excellent environment to share your skills with your peers and learn from them as well.
  • Great practice in the code review process, a very important skill for your software career!
  • Practice giving and receiving feedback. Learning how to discuss technical and non-technical aspects of a project in a constructive fashion is a critical skill that employers look for!

Details

Students can participate in RCOS for course credit or for a stipend. At the beginning of each semester, the Internal Advisory Board will review project proposals and decide which projects should receive financial support.
