This course serves as a project related course for students that have complete all elementary programming courses.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

In previous courses in computer science you were taught how to write code given a specific design and set of specifications. In this course, you will learn to develop those designs and specifications and the formal methods used. Preface from Software Engineering, by Ian Sommerville: Software systems are now ubiquitous. Virtually all electral equipment now includes some kind of software; software is used to help run manufacturing industry, schools and universities, health care, finance and government; many people use software of different kinds for entertainment and education. The specification, development, management, and evolution of these software systems make up the discipline of software engineering.

Software engineering was developed in response to the problems of building large, costom software systems for defense, government, and industrial applications. We now develop a much wider range of software, from games on specialized consoles through personal computers products and web based system to very large-scale distribution systems. Although some techniques that are appropriate for custom systems, such as object-oriented development, are universal, new software engineering techniques are evolving for different types of software. It is not possible to cover every thing in one book, so I have concentrated on universal techniques and techniques for developing large-scale systems rather than individual software products..

The course will cover chapters 1,4,5,6.7,8,11, 12, 14, 16, 22, 23, 17, 18, 19, 21, 26, and portions of 27, 28, and 29. Students are encouraged to read all of the chapters. Time does not permit us to cover all topics in this book in just one semester. It is particularlly important that the student place a great deal of emphasis in understanding the different design models and the sections covering requirements analysis and system specification. As it turns out, developing a complete set of requirements and specifications is one of the more difficult and critical tasks in software engineering. We will also require each student to define a problem, gather requirements to solve that problm, develop a set of specifications, and design a piece of software, and develop a prototype of the resulting software as a project.COURSE OBJECTIVES:A student who has completed this course with a passing grade should be able to:

Demonstrate skills in the essential concepts and components of the discipline of computer science, including theory, practice, and artifacts

Define the concepts of computer architecture, operating systems, and networks

Define the concepts involved in the theory of computation and in the area of artificial intelligence

Define the structures of modern programming languages

Demonstrate basic skills with the UNIX operating systems

Summarize the fundamental social, ethical, and professional issues related to the computer science profession, including the requirements of dealing with rapid technological change

ACADEMIC HONOR CODE:Students are expected to uphold the Academic Honor Code published in The Florida State University Bulletin and the Student Handbook. The Academic Honor System of The Florida State University is based on the premise that each student has the responsibility (1) to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the students own work, (2) to refuse to tolerate violations of academic integrity in the university community, and (3) to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the part of the university community.Please see the following web site for a complete explanation of the Academic Honor Code.http://www.fsu.edu/Books/Student-Handbook/codes/honor.htmlhttp://www.fsu.edu/Books/Student-Handbook/ AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT:Students with disabilities needing academic accommodation should: (1) register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center; (2) bring a letter to the instructor indicating the need for accommodation and what type. This should be done during the first week of class.For more information about services available to FSU students with disabilities, contact:Student Disability Resource CenterDean of Students Department08 Kellum HallFlorida State UniversityTallahassee, FL 32306-4400(850) 644-9566 (voice)(850) 644-8504 (TDD)SDRC@admin.fsu.eduhttp://www.fsu.edu/~staffair/dean/StudentDisability/
