Software Engineering ((4))

Catalog description

This course is a general introduction to Software Engineering. The course will cover the specification, development, management, and evolution of complex software systems. Students will learn how to cost-effectively apply the methods and theory from Computer Science to solve difficult problems. The course presents a broad perspective on software and system engineering and surveys a wide spectrum of tools and techniques. Students are required to complete a project as part of a small software engineering team. Students will form groups and choose a software project early in the course, then apply methodologies learned in the course to complete their project. Each week lecture meets for 150 minutes and lab meets for 150 minutes.
