(1) COSC121 or COSC131; (2) COSC122. Recommended preparation: 15 points from MATH, STAT or EMTH. MATH120/STAT101 are strongly recommended.

Software Engineering Project Workshop

The Software Engineering Project Workshop gives students in-depth experience in developing software applications using modern techniques. Participants work individually and 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.
