ECEN 4583 (3). Software Systems Development.
Lectures deal with techniques for
product requirements definition, project planning, coding, verification,
validation, performance evaluation, and maintenance of medium-scale
systems. Primary emphasis is on practical application of these
techniques to a specified software project. Students work in teams to
produce appropriate documents for each phase and are responsible for
project completion according to specification and schedule.
Course project is written in C on a Unix look-alike system; prior
knowledge of C or Unix is not required.
