433-340 Software Engineering Project

This subject may only be taken by students enrolled in the Software Engineering stream of the BE degree.

433-252 Software Engineering Principles and Tools, 433-253 Algorithms and Data Structures and 433-254 Software Design

433-341 Software Engineering Process and Practice

The objective of this subject is for students to experience team-oriented software engineering; to appreciate the importance of planning and managing the software process; to be involved in requirements elicitation and the subsequent phases of software development including documentation, requirements analysis, specification, design, implementation and testing; and to be familiar with some of the problems that can arise during execution of the software development process. Students will work on a substantial practical team project drawn from areas such as system software, applications software, graphics or networks. They will be involved in all phases of the project, including requirements analysis, functional specification, system design, implementation, documentation and testing. Lectures will cover applied software engineering issues in areas such as configuration management, release engineering, technical reviews, and software testing.

Satisfactory contribution to the group project (about 120 hours project work), including system and user documentation, and progress and final reports, as advised at the commencement of the subject
