Aug 30, 1999: Schedule Updated

Aug 17, 1999: Most class notes are up

June 15, 1999: Initial Creation

The objective of this course is to expose students to the essential principles of Software Engineering. The requirement analysis, design, prototyping, implementation and testing phases of a typical software development cycle are covered in detail. Different development methodologies and their associated techniques as well as tools are examined.

The course material is based on current Object-Oriental and Internet technologies. A comprehensive software development project will run concurrently with the classes, complement the theory with useful practial experience. Students will have the opportiunities to finish a project from the Requirment analysis phase to the Testing phase. Since most of the project will be implemented in Java, a brief introduction to Java will be taught in the class. The use of design, development (IDE), testing and presentation tools are required. Project requires working of three or four people.

Grading: Apart from the project, there are four homework assignments, a mid-term exam and a final exam. Exams might be take-home. The weightages for grading are: Projects 40%, Homework 20%, Midterm 15%, Final Exam 15%, and Project Presentation 10%.

No Late Assignment Submission

Approach Of the Class

This is a project class. There are five main parts of information you will be learning. They are

Classic Software Engineering Principles
Design Patterns
Development Tools (JDK/Java, Rose, UML, XML, JavaScript, IDEs, etc)
Technology Information (Web Server Tech, Networking, Other Internet Tech)
Industry Example

You will use all these five "things" to do your project. Principles, Patterns and Industry Example will help you on the theory part of the project, where Development Tools and Technology Information will help you on the practical part. And yes, you have to deliver on the project in order to get an acceptable grade in the course.

Cheating Policy

In short, if you cheat in any form in any assignment ... you get an F. The department consider cheating to be a serious violation. You must do your own work on all assignments. That is, do your own homeworks, mid-term and final exam. For group project, all the work has to be done by your OWN group. Do not try to download "free code" from the Internet and hand in as a project. WE WILL FIND OUT. Do not share your work with others. Any student who receive an F for cheating will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs for Academic Dishonesty. In other words, there will be a permanent record staying that you cheated. No, I do not want to do that. So DO YOUR OWN WORK and EARN your grade.
