SWE 4901 - Software Engineering Capstone I

1 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
This is the first course in the senior design sequence where students work as a team on a significant software project. Each student team must specify, design, implement, document, and test a substantial software project. Teams meet regularly with their instructor to track technical and project management issues.
Prereq: Completion of core courses through junior year--a maximum of two may be missing--or approved plan of study to complete the degree within one term of completing SWE 4902
Note: None
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Work effectively and demonstrate initiative as a project team member
Communicate project status and technical content in oral and written form to coworkers and management
Capture requirements in user stories that describe incremental business value
Create user stories with unambiguous completion criteria
Apply analysis and synthesis in the design process to produce software that meets specified completion criteria
Use principles from engineering, science, and mathematics to design and construct software that meets multiple realistic constraints
Investigate, evaluate, integrate, and apply technologies and standards beyond previous coursework to support design and planning
Develop and execute experiments to minimize uncertainty and use the results to justify design decisions
Employ software engineering processes to develop software
Use modern software engineering tools for process management and source control
Identify, track, and mitigate technical and process risks

Prerequisites by Topic

Proficiency in requirements analysis, software architecture and design, software verification and validation, and team software process
