Description

SENG6150 and SENG6160 form a two course sequence in which students apply previously developed knowledge and skills to a substantial and practical team project. SENG6150 concentrates on the requirements engineering and design phases. These phases are placed in context through a general introduction to software project management, ethics and software process maturity. In the project, students produce a requirements document. They, then, develop a requirements model which is used to produce a detailed design model.
