Fees | Look up fees |
This subject gives students their first engineering experience in analysing, designing and implementing a medium-scale software system. Students will work in a small team to solve a software engineering problem. Students must be able to demonstrate that they can apply sound engineering principles to the formulation and solution of their problem.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject the student is expected to:
- Analyse, design, implement and test a non-trivial software system
- Ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution
- Ability to communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also with the community at large
- Apply software engineering principles to the development of non-trivial projects.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject students should have developed the following generic skills:
- Ability to undertake problem, identification, formulation and solution
- Ability to utilise a systems approach to design and operational performance
- Ability to function effectively as an individual and in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with the capacity to be a leader or manager as well as an effective team member.

Inherent requirements (core participation requirements)
The University of Melbourne is committed to providing students with reasonable adjustments to assessment and participation under the Disability Standards for Education (2005), and the Assessment and Results Policy (MPF1326). Students are expected to meet the core participation requirements for their course. These can be viewed under Entry and Participation Requirements for the course outlines in the Handbook.
Further details on how to seek academic adjustments can be found on the Student Equity and Disability Support website: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/student-equity/home

Assessment
Additional details
The subject will be assessed on the project management, software design, implementation and testing, artifacts generated during the project and submitted at the end of the project, and on a final report submitted by the team at the end of the project.
Each individual student’s mark has two components:
- A process component based on the team’s ability to conduct problem formulation and design, and to manage their processes, requiring approximately 65 - 70 hours of work (70%)
- A product component based on the final release of the developed product, requiring approximately 30 - 35 hours of work (30%)
A component of the marks for the process (1.) will be based on the individual’s contribution to the project.
