Description 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.
Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to:Assessed by:
complete the design of a substantial piece of software to a professional standard, which may include the further development of prototype software presentation, project reports
work effectively and professionally in a team with full responsibility for the conduct and management of the project Presentation, project reports
give an oral presentation of the work, together with a full written report Presentation, project reports
AssessmentSessional: Continuous assessment (100%).
Supplementary (where allowed): None; the module may only be repeated.
