SWE 417: Software Engineering Project I
Catalog Description: 

This is the second part of a two-semester, senior-year capstone project. Student teams employ knowledge gained from courses throughout the program such as development of requirements, design, implementation, and quality assurance to develop a software solution to a real-world problem from conception to completion. In this part, students implement the design they produced in SWE 417, test their code, and evaluate their final product.
