CS 4450 - Advanced Software Engineering Methods

Credits: (4)
Typically Taught Spring Semester: Full Sem
Typically Taught Summer Semester: Full Sem

This course provides a capstone project experience for students interested in software engineering. While previous courses in the Computer Science curriculum provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to begin a career as a software engineer, the end-to-end design and implementation experience offered in this course, done as part of a team, and addressing an open ended problem (as well as an open ended solution), comes much closer to the experience that software engineering professionals encounter in the workplace. The emphasis on documentation and presentation of designs and results is also valuable career preparation, and forces students to take ownership of their designs and systems as they present them to others.
Pre-requisite(s): CS 3750.
