School of Business professor, Dr. Yue Gao served as mentor in the students\u2019 efforts to apply for the presentation slot at NEDSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAll three have worked very hard,\u201d Dr. Gao said. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of their efforts and to see them rewarded with the opportunity to present their research.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Akshaj Kabthiyal said the group\u2019s project stemmed from their own initial salary curiosities in the software development industry. As they delved deeper, the three noted that the additional skills required of software developers not only enhance their professional capabilities but also have a substantial impact on their earning potential. \u201cHowever, traditional wage estimating platforms such as \u2018salary.com\u2019 often don&#8217;t take into account the complete range of attributes and skills that software developers possess,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After searching for comprehensive industry salary data, the group came upon the 2023 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, which details statistics on software engineers&#8217; career paths and demographics. With this new dataset, the students set out to \u201cuncover new insights through a comprehensive data analysis method and utilizing machine learning techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn top of building a predictive model by examining a wide range of attributes and skills,\u201d Kabthiyal added, \u201cwe aimed to understand the intricate relationship between these variables and salary levels, providing valuable insights for both professionals and employers in the software development industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group is thrilled to share their research at NEDSI next month and, in an effort to support these types of student professional development, the School of Business will cover the students\u2019 registration fees and travel expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is wonderful,\u201d added School of Business Dean Dr. David Jordan. \u201cWe\u2019re obviously extremely proud of these students and grateful to Dr. Gao for guiding and mentoring them to their successful bid to present at NEDSI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye out on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/clarkunivsom\/\">School of Business\u2019s Instagram page<\/a> as Julia and Akshaj will be reporting \u201clive\u201d from the event on Friday, April 5.
