Software Engineering II

SENG301 builds on the material introduced in SENG201 (Introduction to Software Engineering) and is intended as a companion course to SENG302 (Software Engineering Group Project). The focus is on quality and how to model, measure and maintain it as project size and complexity scale up.

SENG201. RP: ENCE260 or COSC262.

Software Engineering Group Project

The Software Engineering group project gives students in-depth experience in developing software applications in groups. Participants work in groups to develop a complex real application. At the end of this course you will have practiced the skills required to be a Software Engineer in the real world, including gaining the required skills to be able to develop complex applications, dealing with vague (and often conflicting) customer requirements, working under pressure and being a valuable member of a software development team.

SENG301

Mobile Application Design and Development

This course explores topics of mobile app development and computing platforms. It will explore a range of issues, for example user experience (UX) and the importance of asynchronous and event driven software design, and the implications of resource constraints, e.g., battery and memory. The course will likely use one mobile platform as the primary example to demonstrate the topics, and will complement this example with brief consideration of other platforms and app development frameworks.
