** ABSTRACT **

Software engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the development of large software systems.   This course is an introduction to concepts, principles, activities, methods, and processes used as the basis for a disciplined and structured approach to specifying, designing, and implementing programs using an object-oriented methodology.   A theme in this course is team-oriented software development.  A project is required where four- member teams are formed to design and implement a solution to a moderate size application problem.  Each team is given the choice of using C++, Java  or Ada95 as their implementation language.  Featured topics inlcude:  Formal methods and processes for Object-oriented analysis and design using UML (Universal Modeling Language), formal peer reviews, IEEE documentation standards, software size and cost estimation, and configuration management tools.
