COURSE DESCRIPTION FOR COMP 4300

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

 

= COURSE OBJECTIVES

 

This course provid= es students a practical understanding of all phases necessary in the developme= nt of a software application. The software life cycle including software specification, design, implementation, verification, and evolution is investigated in detail. Understanding of architectural, object-oriented, and function-oriented design is provided through the implementations in Java, Visual Basic, and .NET environments.

 

= PREREQUISITES

 

Students should have= a grade of C or better in CS 304. Those who do not meet the prerequisite should withdraw this course.
