About the course

Course content

In this course, students will work in group to carry out a software project. The projects are selected and assigned by the teaching staff. During the course students must cooperate closely with their customers. Students are required to work in group on their project and to attend common activities and supervision meetings. The results must be clearly documented in the mid-term and final report.

Learning outcome

Key objective of this course is to gain practical experience with the development in group of a software product for a customer, covering the whole life-cycle of the software project. Students will develop applied skills in software engineering as well as specific skills about programming languages and tools depending on the specific project they will work with.Students will develop general competencies to conduct medium-scale development processes; reflect on technical and organisational aspects of software development and project

Learning methods and activities

Work in group (generally 5-7 students), regular meetings with supervisors and customers, seminars, regular status reports. During the semester all the groups deliver a mid-term progress report for detailed feedbacks.

Projects must be presented after delivery. In addition to the ordinary course registration, it is required to sign up of the project work during the first week of the semester. A failure to do it may prevent the student from getting accepted into the course.
