Projects

The course includes a major term project to design and build a useful and non-trivial software system (typically upwards of 5000 lines of code). In addition to the usually delivery of code and documentation, several additional artifacts must be created and maintained on the teams Web site, including requirements and design documents, status reports, installation guides and user guides. Each team will have a manager, whose responsibilities include organizing twice weekly meetings, giving status reports, assigning work items to team members and evaluating the performance of team members. Because of these duties, the team manager should do no more than 10% of the coding. To develop well engineered software, methodologies will be followed and tools will be utilized, see software for a list of required software.
