Course history

Introduction

In this course, the students shall develop knowledge, skills and general competence relating to the development of software systems. The students shall gain insight into how the properties of the systems are defined, the framework for the development and how the development process is managed. Furthermore, the students shall learn to understand some of the complexity of the interaction between software systems and different user and stakeholder groups. The students shall understand the essence of and develop the ability to critically assess both modern (including agile) and traditional methods and technologies for software engineering.

Recommended preliminary courses

The course is based on knowledge and experience of programming, for example DAPE1400 Programming and DATS1600 Program Development.

Required preliminary courses

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge The student is capable of explaining:

  • different phases and activities that form part of software engineering
  • different methods and technologies for software engineering
  • the use of different process models, methods, techniques and tools to achieve project and system quality

Skills

The student is capable of:

  • applying methods and techniques to obtain, analyse and specify requirements for a system
  • designing software systems
  • considering and applying expedient processes, methods, techniques and tools for software development
  • creating system design based on a requirements analysis

General competence

The student has:

  • knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures and exercises. Compulsory assignments are carried out in groups. The groups normally comprise 3 to 5 students.

Course requirements

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

  • three big group assignments (3-5 students) where the students demonstrate their understanding of the course literature. The groups are expected to submit papers that clearly show that they have discussed and reflected on the assignments.
