Aims and Objectives
To extend and deepen the participant's understanding of the analysis, design and implementation of a medium-sized software system; to provide further experience in the activity of designing and implementing non-trivial systems; and to enable the participant to demonstrate practical competence in a group environment.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this class participants will be able to:
- Understand the need for working effectively within a team environment on practical software engineering problems, including planning and managing a group’s workload.
- Appreciate the importance of organisation, management and professionalism in the development of large-scale software.
- Analyse, design, implement, verify and validate a medium-sized software system.
- Effectively employ a range of software development tools e.g. IDEs, configuration management, version control, testing and issue tracking tools.
- Display a disciplined approach to good practices in the general area of software engineering, and to apply software engineering techniques to practical problems.
Syllabus
Participants will undertake a group project which enables them to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the classes CS351 Programming 3, CS353 Fundamentals of Data Analytics, CS354 Computer Networks, CS355 User-Centred Design, and CS352 Software Engineering 3.
