The course is the study of software engineering principles and design. The course will emphasize requirement analysis, design, testing, debugging and implementation of a semester long project. Students will work in groups for the project to be implemented. There will be multiple phases for the design and implementation of the project. The project will be implemented using a standard programming environment.
Prerequisite: CPSC 374 or permission of the instructor (3 credits)
This course and its outcomes support the Computing Learning Outcomes of Communication and Interpersonal Skills (C&IS) and Ethical and Professional Responsibilities (E&PR). These Computing Learning Outcomes are tied directly to the University Wide Outcomes of Effective Communication, Whole Personality, Digital Citizenship, and Acting Ethically.
