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.
SENG201 AND subject to approval by Dean of Engineering and Forestry
- 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.

There will be project submissions, project presentations and a final project report.
There are several important documents available online about departmental regulations, policies and guidelines at the following site. We expect all students to be familiar with these. Notices about this class will be posted to the class forum in the Learn system.COSC students will also be made members of a class called “CSSE Notices”, where general notices will be posted that apply to all classes (such as information about building access or job opportunities).
The Computer Science department's grading policy states that in order to pass a course you must meet two requirements:1. You must achieve an average grade of at least 50% over all assessment items.2. You must achieve an average mark of at least 45% on invigilated assessment items.If you satisfy both these criteria, your grade will be determined by the following University- wide scale for converting marks to grades: an average mark of 50% is sufficient for a C- grade, an average mark of 55% earns a C grade, 60% earns a B- grade and so forth. However if you do not satisfy both the passing criteria you will be given either a D or E grade depending on marks. Marks are sometimes scaled to achieve consistency between courses from year to year. AegrotatsIf factors beyond your control (such as illness or family bereavement) prevent you from completing some item of course work (including laboratory sessions), or prevent you from giving your best, then you may be eligible for aegrotat, impaired performance consideration or an extension on the assessment. Details of these may be found in the University Calendar. Supporting evidence, such as a medical certificate, is normally required. If in doubt, talk to your lecturer.
