COM416 Team Development Project
| Summary |
The Team Development Project is a software engineering project which runs over the Spring semester. The philosophy underlying the project is that the skills needed for team working in the software engineering field can most effectively be learned by experience. The project is based around a client who has a real software development problem to be solved. Students are organised into small teams who work cooperatively on the analysis, design, implementation and testing of the client's software. |
