Course Overview

This course introduces techniques in software engineering (SE) with an emphasis on SE process, phases, and tools. The course structure includes software engineering introduction, requirements and prototyping, design and unified software process, and testing and test driven development. Finally, we will use available SE tools to combine the SE knowledge tools in two projects. We will have two main projects in this class where you will be developing and delivering real-world software.

Some pre-requisites for this course include:

    • Basic knowledge in some of the SE tools like Eclipse
    • Basic Java
    • Some client side programming (JS, CSS, HTML)
    • Teamworking skills (being able to collaborate effectively with your teammates)
    • Cloud computing knowledge is a plus

Rubric

Attendance

Attendance at each class session is required of all students. Participation in in-class discussions and activities is integral to learning and applying computer science concepts in your project.

  • If you have an institutionally-approved absence (for example, an excuse approved by the Dean’s office) it is not counted against your attendance record. You are required to provide your instructors with documentation (such as a Dean’s letter) of an institutionally-approved absence.
  • Students are given three (3) non-institutionally approved absences, for which you are not required to provide any explanation or supporting documents, although a courtesy email to your instructors is appreciated.
  • Each additional absence after the allotted three (3) non-institutionally approved absences deducts 1% from a student’s final grade.
  • If you are absent, it is your responsibility to check the course agenda and/or to find out from a teammate what you may have missed while absent and to have completed any work due the day you return. If you know you will be absent, please email your instructors as a courtesy. Please speak with your instructors and confirm what needs to be done.
  • Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class; should you arrive late, it is your responsibility to check in with the instructor so that an absence is not recorded. Arriving at class more than 20 minutes late is counted as an absence. If you know that you will be late to class, please let the instructor know.
