This course continues the study of software engineering begun in CIS 375. Topics covered include: personal software process, team software process, formal methods, human computer interaction, security, software architecture, software reliability, and use of CASE tools.

 

You will be required to complete several projects and to make both written and oral reports on this work. Your scores on the assignments and the exams will determine your grade in this course. There will be two exams and 4 to 6 graded assignments (programs, reports, presentations). The assignments will account for 60% of your grade, and the exams the remaining 40%. Late work will be penalized, as will evidence of cheating in any form.
