Course Objectives and Organization:
Software engineering is concerned with long-term, large scale programming projects. This course introduces the topic through lectures and by giving you a chance to help design, manage, and implement a medium-sized project. You will:
Learn fundamental
principles of software engineering
Learn elements of
object-oriented software design and the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
Practice
object-oriented programming and working in a group
The course will include C++ assignments in the area of object oriented design and object oriented programming. The lectures and the group project will cover topics in software engineering management, problem specification and analysis, system design techniques, documentation, system testing and performance evaluation, system maintenance, reliable software, current programming and run-time environments, and possibilities for the future.
