Description
CSCE 482 is a project-based course to develop system integration skills for solving real-world problems in computer science. Significant team software projects that integrate advanced concepts across computer science specializations will be executed by students. These projects require design, implementation, documentation and demonstration, as well as design methodology, management process and teamwork. Students will employ the use of the iterative design process in order to create user-centered systems that address various requirements, associated goals and tasks, and expose underlying creativity.
Prerequisites
Students need to be of Senior classification (U4) in order to take this course. In addition, students must have taken at least two CSCE courses from one track including CSCE 411.
Topics
During the course of the semester, students will be working on project teams to solve real-world, ongoing problems with roots in both the industry and in research. The topics to be covered will span across the different focus areas of these various projects. Refer to the course projects page to gather a stronger sense of the directions and focus of the various semester projects.
