COSC 4320 - Software Engineering

Undergraduate course, University of Houston-Victoria, Computer Science Department, 2023

Upon successful completion of this course, students will understand the distinction between functional and non-functional requirements, as well as user and system requirements, and be able to write a Software Requirements Specification document using requirements engineering processes.

They will implement design methods such as object-oriented (OO) design and Unified Modeling Language (UML), and work with various software life-cycle models, including the waterfall model, V model, rapid prototyping model, incremental model, and spiral model. Students will learn to generate and deliver a software product based on their own project ideas, fostering creativity and innovation.

The course emphasizes the development of teamwork and communication skills, preparing students to work effectively in collaborative environments. Additionally, students will gain a solid understanding of software engineering ethics, ensuring they are aware of the professional and ethical responsibilities in the field of software development.
