A summer period of 8 weeks spent as a trainee in industry, business, or government agencies for the purpose of familiarizing the student with the real job world and enabling him to apply and relate his academic knowledge to a real work environment. The student is required to participate in software engineering related activities and use his time to get acquainted with the software engineering related functions and resources used by his employing organization. Besides progress reports, the student is required to submit a final report and do a presentation on his experience and the knowledge he gained during his summer training program.
Prerequisites: SWE 363, ENGL 214 and Department Approval

This is the first part of a two-semester senior-year capstone project. Student teams employ knowledge gained from courses throughout the program such as development of requirements, design, implementation, and quality assurance to develop a software solution to a real-world problem from conception to completion. In this part, students develop project plan and software requirements specification. Next, students’ teams can either develop complete design document or follow agile like methodology to develop design document and implementation for 30% of system features.
Prerequisites: SWE 316 and SWE 387

This is the second part of a two-semester senior-year capstone project. Student teams employ knowledge gained from courses throughout the program to develop a software solution to a realworld problem from conception to completion. In this part, students review and refine documents prepared in SWE 411; finalize design, complete implementation of the application, test their code, and evaluate their final product.
Prerequisites: SWE 326 and SWE 411

Study the concepts, principles, methods, and best practices in software architecture. Different architectural styles, patterns and product lines are presented and compared.
