  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Computer Science, Computer Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
After the course a student shall be able to:
  • analyze, limit, plan, perform, and document experiences from a small software project with an external customer,
  • work in a group and communicate in written and orally,
  • finish project work within a given time frame
  • identify different types of activities of a software project, e.g. requirements analysis, design, and test,
  • describe the dependencies between the activities,
  • describe how the results of an activity should be documented,
  • describe how processes are adapted and documented.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic knowledge of software engineering theory. The student must be well acquainted with programming in at least one high level language and must have used advanced algorithms and data structures.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Advanced courses in Software Engineering.

Organisation:
A project course that spans over the spring semester. Only a few lectures and seminars are planed. Remaining time is spent on project work. Each project team hands in artefacts that are examined and graded. There is a strict deadline for each artefact.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
A group of seven or eight students develops a software system. The project is based on a real problem and it is carried out with realistic assumptions, e.g. with a customer that needs the system. A published development process is adapted and followed. During seminars the groups present their achievements. An experience report concludes the course.
Each group presents their work from different perspectives during the series of seminars, where other groups are serving as opponents. Each student must have completed at least one presentation and one opposition. Presence in the seminars is mandatory.
The work is conducted both individually and in groups with guidance from the tutor. Students are required to sign agreements with the client about the secrecy and the right of exploitation according to the wishes of the client.


Course contents:
Software development methodology, processes, leadership, team organization, written and oral presentation
