Prerequisites: Grade of at least C in CSC330 or equivalent (if transfer student), ability to perform CSC330-level programming in C++, ability to attend class regularly, and ability to participate in group project (ability to work in a team and to meet regularly with team outside of class, ability to write project deliverables in English and to communicate with team in English.).
Brief Description: This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to the concepts and methods of software engineering. Software engineering addresses the process of developing complex software systems that meet quality standards and are delivered within budget and on-time. The student will learn about basic issues and concepts of software engineering, and apply one set of techniques (with an emphasis on object-oriented techniques) to a group software development project. Class time will be spent on lectures, exercises, and/or project-related activities (see calendar below). The group project requires a serious commitment of time outside of class and includes both programming and technical writing.
Required textbook:
Project-Based Software Engineering: An Object-Oriented Approach, by Evelyn
Stiller and Cathie LeBlanc, Addison-Wesley, 2002.
Class attendance will be checked and you may be dropped from the course by the instructor if you miss more than five classes (unless class was officially cancelled due to winter storm, etc.). When class time is provided for assignments and group meetings, you are expected to participate until the end of the class period; otherwise you may be counted as absent..
Class participation is strongly encouraged! Private conversations and other activities not related to class are strongly discouraged. You may be asked to leave if you are creating a disturbance; if so, you may be counted as absent that day!.
Collaboration on assignments (except for a group assignment) and exams (including
make-up exams) is considered to be a violation of the UNCG Academic Integrity Policy.
Late assignments will not be accepted unless otherwise specified in the instructions.
Group members are expected to meet with, cooperate, and communicate with the members of their group. Consistent failure to do so may result in being expelled from the group by the instructor!
Missed exams may be made up if (1) the absence is excused by the instructor before the exam is graded, (2) appropriate written documentation (specified by the instructor when the excuse is approved) is provided when the exam is made up, and (3) the exam is made up by the date specified by the instructor for make up exams. Note that it is the student's responsibility to satisfy these 3 conditions on-time. An exam that is not made up will receive the grade of 0.
Samples of student work (assignments and tests) may be shown to reviewers for departmental accreditation.
