For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Students Experiencing Academic Disadvantage Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Description, Subject Objectives, Generic Skills and Assessment Requirements of this entry.The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the Disability support scheme can be found at the Disability Liaison Unit Website:http://www.services.unimelb.edu.au/disability/

This subject give s students their first engineering experience in analysing, desirgning and implementing a medium-scale software system. Students will work in a small team to solve a software engineering problem. Students must be able to demonstrate that they can apply sound engineering principle sot the formulation and solutionn of their problem.

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

• Analyse, design, implement and test a non-trivial software system
• Ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution
• Ability to 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

The subject will be assessed on the project management, software design, implementation and testing, artifacts generated during the project and submitted at the end of the project, and on a final report submitted by the team at the end of the project.

Each individual student’s mark has two components:

• (1) a process component based on the team’s ability to conduct problem formulation and design, and to manage their processes (70%)
• (2) a product component based on 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.

None

This subject is not available as a breadth subject.

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
