None
Pre/Co-requisite::
None
Course Objectives (Course-level Student Learning Outcomes):
1. Identify a software-oriented project or research problem, and the core design needed to develop the project or solve the research problem 2. Apply computer science principles and practices to a real-world problem, and evaluate their effectiveness. 3. Demonstrate the knowledge needed to solve the project or problem, and solve issues using the knowledge and skills gained from computer science curriculum 4. Identify potential solutions and algorithms for the project problem by recognizing patterns and modularizing the problem. 5. Work as a member of a team developing a significant software product, producing both individual work and collaborative work. 6. Demonstrate evidence of competency in oral and written communications skills through oral presentations and technical documentation. 7. Demonstrate the ability to learn new tools and techniques that are not necessarily covered in class.
Topics Covered (In Outline/Calendar):
Software design and development, technical presentations, technical documentation, source code control, team work, application of knowledge gained in earlier classes.
