Module 06-30205 (2019)

Large software projects require the combined effort of a team of skilled developers. In this module students will learn the basics of teamwork in the context of developing a large AI-themed programming project. Students work in teams to design, implement and document the code. Students are expected to use state-of-the-art AI programming, observe good software engineering practice, and work effectively in a team. Students will use industry-standard approaches such as continuous integration.

• provide experience of building a large and complex piece of software
• provide experience of working in a programming team
• integrate knowledge from other modules

1. Design and implement a large software project
2. Use good software engineering practices in a project
