Objectives

The course gives practical experience in principles, languages and tools used to construct large complex software systems, and contributes to developing a professional attitude towards software development.

Learning outcomes

The student will have developed practical experience in:
- Following an established process and life cycle model
- Participate in, and responsibility of one or more of, the following activities: project management, requirements engineering, architectural and low-level design, implementation, testing, delivery, maintenance and evolution
- Some selected, established notations and tools to support these activities
- How software quality could be addressed in each of these activities
- Productively participate in these activities in a project group, having a specific role, understanding project management concepts such as deadlines and deliverables, cooperate well and understand his/her relation to the other members of the group as well as external stakeholders
- Writing and reviewing technical documentation corresponding to these activities

Course content

A project in a group is performed, in which the students of the group have different roles and responsibilities. This includes activities such as project management, development models, requirements engineering, software design and implementation, quality assurance, configuration management, maintenance, evolution and reengineering.

Tuition

Project supervision.

Specific requirements

Programming, 15 credits (including at least one object-oriented language), Data structures, algorithms and program development, 7.5 credits, Basic knowledge in software engineering, 7.5 credits and 15 additional credits in computer science at level G1F.

Examination

Project (PRO1), 7.5 credits, marks 3, 4 or 5

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.

Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
