• opportunity to work in a group environment on a project
• experience on reading and writing research papers

• Software engineering as a professional discipline
• Object-oriented software development and UML
• The development process: software engineering development process; software business practices; software requirements engineering; software design; software tools and methodologies; construction; testing and integration; software maintenance
• The supporting processes: software engineering supporting processes; software configuration management; software verification and validation processes; software quality assurance process; software reviews and audits processes; software documentation process; management processes; infrastructure process; improvement process;education and training processes
• Student-led project discussions and reviews

Assignments:
The assignments will include weekly research paper critiques and programming assignments.
