Description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Software Engineering concentration includes three courses in Software Engineering. CS 214 Software Development introduces practices used by individuals to develop software. CS 314 Software Engineering introduces students to team-based development of large, complex software systems. CS 414 Object-oriented Design adds to the requirements and design practices while CS 415 Software Testing adds testing practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major topics in CS 314 include Agile software development, clean code, configuration management, continuous integration and deployment, project management, requirements management, test-driven development, peer reviews, and teamwork. Students learn integrated tools to support a Scrum-based development process while completing a semester-long web development project. Students also use a course-specific AI agent to aid their software engineering practices. This course prepares students to work in teams in upper-level courses, industry, research, or the open-source community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CS 314 satisfies the AUCC 4A requirements for Computer Science majors. You will learn software engineering processes and tools, along with how to work in a team, much as you would in your first job. Your instructor met with the customer, gathered requirements, selected the architecture, developed the design, and completed an initial implementation for you. You will add features to the implementation to complete a mobile web development project for the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
