A general introduction to Software Engineering. Deals with the specification, development, management, and evolution of complex software systems. Shows how to cost-effectively apply the methods and theory from Computer Science to solve difficult problems. The course presents a broad perspective on software and system engineering and surveys a wide spectrum of tools and techniques. Students are required to complete a project as part of a small software engineering team. Students may choose system projects involving software and hardware integration. Prerequisite: CMPS 223. Programming skill in a high level language and knowledge of data structures and algorithms. 5 quarter units. 4 units lecture (200 minutes), 1 unit lab (150 minutes).
