Description

Software Engineering II

SENG301 builds on the material introduced in COSC263 Introduction to Software Engineering
and is intended as a companion course to SENG302 Software Engineering Group Project.
It is not suitable for students who do not have strong background experience in both object-oriented design and Java. The underlying theory and practical applications of a variety of topics in software engineering are covered with particular reference to object-oriented software engineering in Java.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students who achieve a good grade in the course should be able to:
  • describe, model, and understand software engineering processes
  • select and enact appropriate processes for particular software development environments
  • apply a range of software engineering techniques to develop large software systems
  • function effectively in a professional software development environment
  • learn, use and evaluate a range of software development tools
  • synthesise new software designs
  • recognise and correct design flaws in software
  • understand and model the quality of software products and processes
  • use software metrics to understand and improve large software systems and the processes used to develop them
  • communicate effectively, in written and oral forms, knowledge and professional opinion.
