Prerequisites: Introduction to Software Engineering

Course Description:

This course discusses the concepts associated with object-oriented (OO) software development. We will review fundamental concepts of software engineering and learn about OO analysis and design concepts. An ongoing class project will also double as a case study to illustrate these concepts. An overview of UML notation will be given.

Course content:

  1. Review of software engineering
  2. UML overview
  3. Requirements analysis
  4. System design
  5. Object design
  6. Mapping models to code
  7. Testing
  8. Rationale management
  9. Configuration management
  10. Project management

Class Project

Students will work together as a single team on a class project to be prepared by the instructor. Students will work in subteams of 3 or 4. Each subteam will present a suitable analysis and design for the project. Once a suitable decomposition of the project has been derived, the subteams will work to implement the design of the different pieces.

Research Paper

Students will be required to write a brief paper on an area of research related to object-oriented software development. It can be a survey of several related research papers from journals, conference or workshop proceedings. Bonus points will be given if the paper also includes a credible research proposal.

Evaluation

Students will be evaluated as follows:
Term paper 15%
Project 35%
Exams (midterm and final) 30%
Class participation 5%
Homeworks 15%

Academic Integrity

Cheating will not be tolerated for project assignments, exams and other assignments. Consult the UNO Student Handbook and Department of Computer Science Policies and Procedures for formal policies about plagiarism.

Policy on late homeworks

Late homeworks will get a 20% deduction per day, for each day past the due date. For online submissions, we will go by the time stamp as reported by Blackboard. For example, if the due date is Aug, 24, a submission on Aug. 25 12:01am will get a 20% deduction.

Unfortunately for paper submissions, you must hand them directly to me.
