Betsalel (Saul) Williamson, a member of the IEEE Pittsburgh Student Activities Committee, is looking for you, a passionate engineer (at any stage of your career), to volunteer and assist with development of a coding tutorial designed for first-year college students and early-career engineers.

This is a collaborative effort built to help others propel their understanding of coding and help pass on industry know-how including practical skills in version control, automated testing, and documentation.

If you are interested or want to hear more, sign up for the virtual QA on January 25th and February 8th to learn how you can get involved.  We are looking for a wide range, and depends on the interest.  For a minimal commitment, just showing up to support discussions, review content, or if you want to take lead on authoring content that could be more involved.

This is a great opportunity to meet other engineers and to bolster your resume.

The current iteration of the tutorial is at https://github.com/betsalel-williamson/Programming-Tutorial/wiki .

The unique edge for this tutorial is that it has a high attention to detail and includes broader instructions so that those new to programming not only have the information to get their machine setup, but can learn industry best practices that usually aren't spelled out in classes and during internships.

The tutorial was initially developed in 2018 by Saul in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh's Student Electronics Resource Center https://sercpitt.weebly.com/ to help students fill in the gaps. The tutorial helped a dozen IEEE students increase their understanding of C and how to build automated tests with TCL.
