Course Description

This class is aimed at giving you an opportunity to utilize software engineering methodology in a team environment to develop a real-world application. Teams will be responsible for all phases of software development, including project planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, configuration management, quality assurance, documentation, and delivery. Two-term sequence required.

Because we assume you have a basic background in Software Engineering, this course will emphasize those areas of the SE lifecycle which typically receive less attention in an undergraduate course, or which students would benefit from hands-on experience. Major group project is required as part of this class.
