Subject Overview:

Developing real-world software on time and under budget is a challenging task. Students will work in a team to solve a practical problem, applying sound engineering principles to the formulation and solution of their problem. Students will engage in the full software engineering life cycle from requirements engineering through to delivery, to develop a software solution for an external client.
Objectives:

On completion of this subject, students will be able:

  • To analyse, design, implement and test a small real-world software system, apply software engineering processes and practices to the development of non-trivial projects and work with extermal stakeholders to develop software systems to meet their needs.
Assessment:

Projects will be assessed on a continuous basis, based on pre-specified project milestones.

This will be followed by an assessment at the end of the semester

  • 25% of the assessment component will be team-based
  • And 75% will be an individual assessment.
Prescribed Texts: None
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:
  • Be able to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution
  • Be able to utilise a systems approach to design and operational performance
  • Be able to function effectively as an individual and in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with the capcity to be a leader or manager as well as aneffective team member
  • Be open to new ideas and unconventional critiques of received wisdom
