CS 470 Software Engineering Capstone

Emphasizes teamwork in small groups on a substantial project that will be performed for a real customer. Projects are chosen so as to provide interdisciplinary content with project proposals being solicited from the community at large. Projects that involve students as well as customers from other disciplines are encouraged. Lectures will be directed toward the management of software development projects such as those being carried out by the teams. It is the intent of the course to provide a capstone experience that integrates the materials contained in the remainder of the CS curriculum through work on a project that applies this material in another discipline. Each team member will contribute to the design, documentation, and testing phases of the project. This course creates an obligation for participation for two consecutive quarters. This is the second course in a sequence of two: CS 469 and CS 470 which must be taken in sequence.
