Learning Outcomes
Students who successfuly complete this unit of study will be able to:

Apply software engineering and user centred design principles to the development and successful implementation of a software product that satisfies the user needs
Demonstrate an ability to work effectively and efficiently in a software development team
Ability to research, analyse and select appropriate solutions to theoretical and practical problems
Demonstrate skills in time management and coordination within a team framework
Demonstrate ethical and professional behaviour
Communicate effectively with a client
Communicate effectively through individual and group presentations.

Teaching Methods:

Lectures (12 hrs), Tutorials (Group Meetings) (24 hrs)

Assessment:

Group project plan, Group software project, Individual presentations, Individual log book entries, Individual peer reviews

Content:

Students work as a team (typically 4 - 6 individuals) to develop a software product for a nominated client. Where possible, clients are external to the university. Each group is supervised closely by a member of staff who acts as a project manager. Teams are required to produce a formal management plan and software requirements document that are in accordance with currently accepted software engineering and user centred design principles and practices. These requirements involve analysis of project requirements, project design and development. The final milestone involves a formal oral presentation of the completed software at which the user is present.
