10 Units 3000 Level Course

Available in 2012

Callaghan CampusSemester 1

Previously offered in 2013, 2011

SENG3150 and SENG3160 form a 2 course sequence in which students apply their previously-developed knowledge and skills to a substantial practical team project. SENG3150 concentrates on the requirements engineering and design phases. These phases are placed in context through a general introduction to software project management, and software process maturity. In the project, students firstly produce a requirements model. After assessment, student are provided a requirements model which they use to produce a detailed design model.

Objectives
At the completion of this course, students will:
1) Have a detailed understanding of, and practical experience related to, the requirements engineering and design phases in software development.
2) Understand software process and process maturity.
3) Understand the importance of project planning and managing the software process.
4) Understand how to validate a design against the system requirements, and related software engineering standards.
5) Develop adequate skills in client liaison, requirements and design modelling, and documentation.
6) Be able to work effectively in a team.
7) Have developed effective verbal and written communication skills.
