Outline
The software design study gives the student the opportunity to work in a team (typically 5 or 6 students) on a challenging and substantial software design project. This will normally include mainly the early phases of the software lifecycle (requirements analysis and software design), but may also include the further development of prototype software and/or demonstration software. The final report must include a fully costed proposal for the development of a complete software product.
Aims
The aims of this module are to:
- give the student practical experience of working as part of a team on a challenging software design task
- allow the student to demonstrate competence as software engineering professional, and to apply what has been learnt in the other components of his or her degree programme
- develop the research skills to find, evaluate and apply knowledge on topics that are completely new to the student
