ITEC316 Software Engineering

Aim of the Course

The aim of this course is to introduce some fundamental principles of software engineering discipline and illustrate the application of those principles in the context of the graduation project. Main topics covered are software process models, software metrics, risk analysis and management, testing and quality assurance, software estimation techniques, software quality and configuration management and software reengineering.

Teaching/Learning Strategy

The topics will be introduced in lecture hours. Student participation in discussion is important in promoting successful learning. Students will work in groups of 4 on a project where they have to perform analysis, design and programming as discussed in class.
