About Us ABET ECE/COE 1186Software Engineering with Java(3 credits) Course Description: This course introduces classical and object-oriented software engineering. The approach emphasizes current software practice where systems are developed in incremental stages. The course uses object-oriented approaches, stresses testing activities throughout development, and considers performance and other quality (non-functional) factors as key to successful design and implementation. Traditional software practices including specification, analysis, architecture, design, implementation, integration, and maintenance are covered. A semester-long, formal design project that involves the creation of a Java-based, internet application provides students with hands-on experience in contemporary software practice. Lab instruction and exercises introduce the Java language and include such advanced topics as Java applets, custom networking, remote database access, SQL, and multimedia extensions. Prerequisites: ECE/COE 0142 or COE/CS 447 Texts: (1)Object-Oriented and Classical Software Engineering, 6th Ed. by Stephen R. Schach (2) Java Course notes for 1186 (3) "Java Programming", by Deitel and Deitel or other Java textbook optional Course Objectives: This course explores essential software engineering principles through course lectures, labs, and through projects. Students will learn the scope of software engineering, lifecycle models (with emphasis on incremental approaches), and the object-oriented software development process in detail. Emphasis is on incorporating testing directly into the process at all stages and on the importance and use of effective software planning and estimation approaches. A capstone project, implemented in Java, illustrates the engineering and human issues present within a group development effort. Topics Covered: This course will be broken down into two different tracks: learning software engineering methodology and learning object-oriented software design. Approximately 60% of the class time will be spent on software engineering methodology and 40% will be spent on software implementation specifics.
Class/Laboratory Schedule: Class meets twice per week. Once for a 75-minute lecture and once for a 75-minute combined lecture and lab session. Professional Component Contributions : Open ended design projects with multiple solution paths Group projects Written presentation skills Use of state-of-the-art engineering tools (computers and software) The following are the Course Goals (program objectives) Course Goal A: To provide students with a balanced coverage of state-of-the-practice in software engineering.
Course Goal B: To provide students with a strong hands-on design and experimentation environment for software development, utilizing industry standard facilities.
Course Goal C: To provide students with a balanced course that emphasizes the importance of the interaction between technology and business/management decisions.
Course Goal D: To provide each student with a significant design experience through a combination of lab exercises, group workshops, and the group capstone project.
