Synopsis
In this course students will be taught
a wide range of software engineering theory and practice, and apply this
knowledge to a year-long group based software engineering project.
The course will cover topics across the various stages of the
software development lifecycle, including: requirements engineering;
design; implementation; validation and verification; and maintenance.
The course will expose the students
to a variety of process models, including both traditional process
models, as well as more recent developments, particularly in the area
of agile process models. The course will teach the importance of
good project management and planning, with particular emphasis on
risk assessment and risk management.
The course will also introduce students to current trends in software
engineering, including: component-based software engineering; web-based
software engineering; and agile methods. The course also has a strong
emphasis on the engineering of safety critical software systems. Here students
are introduced to techniques for analysing possible hazards and accidents
associated with safety critical systems, as well as techniques for
mitigating against these hazards.
Students will be exposed to a variety of software engineering tools
throughout the project, including tools for: project planning; software
design; software
implementation; software documentation; and software testing. Not only will
the students learn the theory through a series of lectures in
the first semester, but they will also apply what they have learnt
to a year long group based project. Group projects in this 3rd year course
will typically be done in teams of 4-6 students, with weekly contact
with lecturing staff.
