Subject Overview: This subject gives students their first engineering experience in analysing,
designing, and implementing a nontrivial software system. Students will work
in a small team to solve a software engineering problem, demonstrating their
ability to apply sound engineering principles to the formulation and solution of their
problem.
Objectives:

On completion of this subject, students should be able to:

  • Analyse, design, implement and test a non–trivial software system
  • Unertake problem identification, formulation and solution
  • Communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also with the community at large; and
  • Apply software engineering principles to the development of non-trivial projects.
Assessment: Each individual student’s mark will have two components:
(1) Team’s ability to conduct problem formulation and design,
and to manage its processes (70%); and (2) The final release
of the developed product (30%). A component of the marks for the process (1) will be
based on the individual’s contribution to the project.
Prescribed Texts: TBA
Breadth Options:

This subject is not available as a breadth subject.
Fees Information: Subject EFTSL, Level, Discipline & Census Date
Generic Skills:

On completion of this subject students should have developed the following generic skills:

  • Ability to undertake problem; identification, formulation and solution
  • Ability to utilise a systems approach to design and operational performance
  • Ability to function effectively as an individual and in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with the capacity to be a leader or manager as well as an effective team member.
