CSCI 260 - Software Engineering

3 Credits
The key objective of this course is to learn modular design of software and documenting the design using symbolic representations, i.e., UML diagrams. The course will cover software life-cycle models and different phases of the software development process. Object-oriented techniques are key to the course. However, this is not a programming course.

Prerequisite(s): CSCI 231
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Design modular software architectures using industry-standard software engineering techniques.
2. Evaluate different software life-cycle models and their impact on software development.
3. Critique software design documentation based on software engineering best practices and team-based analysis.
4. Illustrate software designs using UML diagrams to document system structure and behavior.
5. Describe the principles of modular software design and its importance in software engineering.
