CS-5704: Software Engineering

Course Description

Software engineering involves the development and maintenance of complex software systems. In this course, students will learn about phases of the software life cycle: requirements, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The students will also have an opportunity to work on a project supporting software development tasks, discuss state-of-the-art SE research, and gain the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed as a software engineer in industry. The course will consist of traditional lectures, practical workshops to gain exposure to SE tools and principles, and seminar-style discussions about advanced research topics in software engineering.

Please see the Course Syllabus for additional information about course logistics and policies. We will also use Canvas for submitting coursework and other class activities.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Implement a software system following the software life cycle phases
  • Develop software engineering skills working on a team project
  • Identify processes related to phases of the software lifecycle
  • Explain the differences between software engineering processes
  • Discuss research questions and studies related to software engineering
  • Communicate (via demo and writing) details about a developed software application
