\nSpring 2020
\t\tSWE 262P Programming Styles (4)
\nThis course is designed to teach students the various ways software can be decomposed and then how to put the parts back together. Students will be exposed to a variety of different programming styles and composition mechanisms. Topics include: procedural styles, functional styles, object-oriented styles, data-centered styles, error handling styles, and styles for concurrent and parallel programming.
\nSWE 263P User Experience and Interaction (4)
\nProvides an introduction to the basic principles of human-computer interaction (HCI) and the pragmatic aspects of usability engineering. Topics include the fundamentals of interaction, user experience, design for usability, and evaluation of products for their usability. Students will apply their knowledge in assignments and an ongoing class project.
\nSWE 266P Software Security and Dependability (4)
\nPrinciples and concepts for the design and construction of secure software. Topics include: common types of software security vulnerabilities, methods for detecting vulnerabilities, design and process methodologies to improve the security of software, and techniques for assessing the security properties of software.
\nSummer 2020
\t\tSWE 275P Internship (1)
\nExploration of strategies to tackle computational problems whose solutions include well-known algorithms and data structures. Topics include: sorting, searching, indexing, algorithmic complexity and runtime performance analysis.
\nFall 2020
\t\tSWE 271P Career and Entrepreneurship (4)
\nTeaches practical skills for spoken, written, and electronic communication in a range of business and technical contexts, including promoting project ideas and portfolio development. Students will practice their skills in classroom presentations and written exercises.
\nSWE 272P Project Management (4)
\nProvides an introduction to project management in software engineering from several perspectives. Topics include team behavior; globally distributed work; resource estimation, scheduling and budgeting. Students will apply their knowledge in an ongoing class project.
\nSWE 276P Capstone Project in Software Engineering (4)
\nQuarter-long software-intensive project focusing on the design and implementation of a novel software system. Students are expected to bring to bear the concepts acquired during the program
