Course Objective

This course introduces the concepts and methods required for the construction of large software intensive systems. The course aims are to develop a broad understanding of the discipline of software engineering and management of software systems.

Course Outcome

["Apply project management concepts and techniques to an IT project.", "Identify issues that could lead to IT project success or failure.", "Explain project management in terms of the software development process.", "Describe the responsibilities of IT project managers.", "Apply project management concepts through working in a group as team leader or active team member on an IT project."]

Practicals
