Software engineering project

4 points
* Second semester
* Clayton
* Prerequisite: CSC3080

Objectives On completion of the subject, students should have experience with the issues involved in constructing a substantial piece of software to meet the requirements of a project specification; be able to construct the software in a cooperative project group where issues of project management, interface design, intra-group communication and task negotiation are paramount; have developed the software engineering skills of project management, project architecture design, and project team management in preparation for programming in a commercial setting.

Synopsis This subject is intended to provide students with practical experience relating to the construction of software according to software engineering principles. Students are expected to undertake the design and implementation of a program. All aspects of the software engineering process will be covered including requirements analysis, specification, design, coding, testing and maintenance. There are no lectures in this subject, although students will be expected to attend regular meetings with their project supervisor. As a rough guide, this subject should require about one hundred hours of effort from the student during the semester.
