Advanced Software Engineering, Spring 2020

Deepen your knowledge about advanced software engineering practices. The lectures will be complemented by a project and student presentations, which enables active learning during the lecture and a realistic use case that serves as an example to support the preparation before and after the lecture.

This year, the goal of the project is to produce an application that processes and visualizes data. Teams composed of three students will work by applying most of the software engineering processes presented within the lectures. At the end of the course, the teams will present their project, Students will be graded on three parts: project, presentation, and the final written exam.

Learning objectives

With this course, students will learn advanced techniques, methods, and processes in software engineering and apply them in practice.

The goal of the project is to produce an application that processes and visualizes data. Teams composed of three students will work by applying most of the software engineering processes presented within the lectures.

For this project, you have only a few strict requirements in terms of the software engineering processes you and your team have to apply during the development. The rest is a mix of creativity. You are free to use any programming language and technology you prefer, as long as you follow the requirements. You can take the chance to experiment technologies you never managed before, or stick with the knowledge that your team has. The risk analysis is part of your job here.
