Current Catalog Description
Study of the principles and practices of software engineering. Topics include:
software quality concepts, process models, software requirements analysis, design methodologies, software testing, and software maintenance. Hands-on experience building a software system using the waterfall life cycle model. Students working in teams develop all life cycle deliverables: requirements document, specification and design documents, system code, test plan, and user manuals. Prerequisite: CS 331 or CS 401 or CS 403. (3-0-3) (C)
GOALS: Students should be able to:
-
Understand and explain software development as a series of engineering activities, and processes.
-
Demonstrate software development team-working skills.
-
Analyze client/user needs.
-
Select an appropriate life cycle and process model for development of a software product.
-
Explain the importance of software quality evaluation activities.
-
Develop a series of software life-cycle deliverables.
-
Develop representations/models and descriptions of an evolving software product for inclusion in a requirements specification document.
-
Build a multi-level design model and evaluate software design alternatives
-
Design, execute, and log multi-level software tests.
-
Describe the role that tools can play in the software life cycle.
-
Communicate, verbally and in writing, the deliverables of a software development project.

TEAM ORGANIZATION This course will help you to understand software development as a series of engineering activities. An objective of the course is to build software development team-working skills. Students will gain hands-on experience through building a software system using the waterfall lifecycle model. Students, working on teams, will develop the following life cycle deliverables: software requirements specification, software design specification, test specification, code and user manual. At the end of the semester, each team will give a demonstration of their system.
How the teams will be organized:
-
Each student must be a member of a team.
-
Each team will be composed of 4 students.
-
Each team must choose a different team leader for each life cycle deliverable.
-
For each deliverable, the team will fill out a phase evaluation form that indicates how the work was distributed among the team members. These percentages will be used, at the end of the semester, when final grades are computed.
-
It is the responsibility of each team member to share equally in the work.
-
It is the responsibility of each team member to communicate and work productively towards a common goal with the other team members.
The first week of class:
You must organize into teams. Check the course web page. Teams will be posted as they form and are approved. This is a good way to find a team that needs another member.
Each team must:
-
Choose a team leader for the software requirements analysis phase.
-
Choose a team contact for the semester and provide the email address of this individual. (The team contact must monitor his/her email on a regular basis.)
-
Choose a company name and create a logo.
-
Create and agree to a plan describing how your members will communicate/work as a team. (ideas: communicate through email, meet before each class for an hour, telephone, fax documents to each other for review…) This should be brief, but each team member must agree to it.

EXAMS
You will have two exams: a midterm and a final. Exams are closed book,
closed notes, closed neighbor, no cell phones. The instructor
reserves the right to assign a failing semester grade to any student who fails
or does not take the final exam. No make-up exams.
QUIZZES
You will take two quizzes this semester during your
scheduled lecture time. No make-up quizzes.
