     This course deals with Advanced Software Engineering Principles and Professional Practice Issues. The purpose behind this course is to give CIS students the opportunity to sharpen their software analysis and client communications skills. Students will work with real-world clients and take software project from the requirements analysis phase through the implementation and delivery of the product to the customer's site (prior to the end of the next semester). Classroom activities focus on student directed discussions of current profession issues and presentations based on project milestones from the software development activities.

 

     You will be required to participate in a team project and to make both written and oral reports on this work. You will be required to lead at least one class discussion on the professional practice readings from the text. Your scores on the presentations and projects will determine your grade in this course. There will not be any formal examinations in this class. In place of a cumulative final exam, you will be expected to make a formal presentation of your software project at the end of the semester. Your course postmortem presentation will count for 10% of your course grade, your attendance will count for 10%, your class discussion(s) will count for 20%, and your oral and written reports will make up the remaining 60% of your grade. Late work will be penalized, as will evidence of cheating in any form.
