Catalog Data
The goal of this class is to have the juniors of the computer engineering department learn the stages of software development and apply basic techniques used in these stages. In this class, students will find opportunities to experience potential problems encountered during software development either as a standalone system or as a part of a whole system and learn to generate alternative solutions for these problems.
