Description

The Software Engineering Project Workshop gives students in-depth experience in developing software applications using modern techniques. Participants work either individually or in small groups to develop a medium-complexity application. At the end of this course they will have practised the fundamental skills required to develop software systems using modern tools, practices and development environments.

Please note this course is only available to students taking a BE(hons) programme.

SENG202 is a project-based software engineering course for the first professional year of the software engineering degree. The course builds on, applies and extends material introduced in SENG201 (software engineering processes, analysis, design, testing, object-oriented programming, etc.). The course is practice-based and is the first opportunity for students to undertake a sizeable piece of practical work that spans sufficient time to expose some of the complexities of modern software development in a controlled fashion. Participants work either individually or in small groups to develop a medium-complexity application. At the end of this course students will have practised the fundamental skills required to develop software systems using modern tools, practices and development environments.

Prerequisites

SENG201 AND subject to approval by Dean of Engineering and Forestry

Timetable Note

- One one-hour lecture per week: In addition to introducing material on relevant tools and techniques, lectures will also be used to introduce project tasks, manage groups, give general feedback and steer the project tasks in whole-class discussions, and as an opportunity for the groups to present their on-going work to the class, including a formal final presentation.

- Two two-hour laboratories / workshops per week: Workshops will be mostly unstructured (students will work on their project and be able to ask questions to the staff), with some structured lab sessions to teach essential skills, such as source code control and development environments.

Students are expected to work additional hours in their own time, either having group meetings or developing software in the laboratory. Students will be engaged in a medium-complexity software engineering project.
