Learning outcomes

- Apply skills and knowledge acquired as part of the computer science engineering program on a given problem
- Independently analyze and discuss relevant issues and solve substantial problems in the computer science area
- apply standard methods of practice in industry, administration and academic environments regarding planning, conducting, reporting and evaluating independent design and investigation projects,
- Reflect on, evaluate, and critically examine own and others scientific results
- Document and present the work, orally and in writing, with demands on structure, content, presentation, formal content, style, and writing
- Identify own need of information gathering and independently acquire the knowledge and skills needed to solve the problem
- Independently plan and conduct a design or investigation in the computer science area
- Independently collect and systematize requirements and expectations on the project deliverables, and asses the reasonableness of these in light of available time and resources.

Course main content

Formal lectures concern methodologies and techniques for the execution of software development projects using the waterfall and other lifecycle models. These lectures support the software engineering project work.

Disposition

The degree project work consists of two parts: (i) a software engineering project, and (ii) a bachelors degree project on a topic in computer science.
The software engineering project must be executed in a group, and concerns the execution of a software development project previously planned in the course DD1365 Software engineering. The bachelors degree project addresses a problem in the computer science area and is executed individually or in pairs.

Eligibility

The course DD1365 Software Engineering is a compulsory prerequisite and should be taken during the same academic year.

Literature

Kurslitteraturen kommer att annonseras senast 4 veckor före kurstart på kursens hemsida.
