54613 Computer Science Team Project
SQ613A 10.0 credit points
No. of hours per week: three hours
Instruction: lectures and practical work
Assessment: assignments
A final-year subject of the degree courses in mathematics
and computer science and computing and instrumentation.
Subject description
In this subject, students will apply the software engineering
skills acquired throughout the degree, to a substantial group
software development project. Student groups will choose
from a range of projects and they will then have to analyse
the project's requirements, design and then develop the
system to the best of their ability in the time available.
Subject to the approval of the lecturer, students may
generate their own project.
