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
