ECE 1140 - SYSTEMS AND PROJECT ENGINEERING


Minimum Credits: 4
Maximum Credits: 4
This course covers system and software engineering processes, tools, and common practices through lectures and labs. Both the waterfall model and agile methods, specifically Extreme Programming and Scrum, are presented and used in developing a term-long group project. Students experience firsthand each of the concepts covered throughout the term by specifying, designing, and building an integrated working hardware/software system with equal contribution from each of the 5 or 6 team members. During the group project, full lifecycle documentation is created, UML is used for designing the system and a fully working system is developed, tested, and publicly presented. During the course students will use an IDE, UML, code repository, defect tracking, testing, scheduling, and documentation tools.
