Course contents

This course is divided into a theoretical and practical segment. In the theoretical segment, the lectures cover essential topics, including software processes, architectural design, software patterns, implementation, and software evolution. Through lectures and interactive sessions, students will gain a profound understanding of these foundational principles.

The practical part of the course is designed to bridge theory with real-world application. The students will form development teams and collaborate on a project that require them to apply relevant methods and tools for design, implementation, documentation and planning.

Other regulations
