Learning objectives
Students should be already able to program with object-oriented approach.<br />Main course goal is to make them able to manage on their own small software project with also the project phase.<br />Students must acquire the capability <br /><br /><br />to collect project requirements<br />to define analysis<br />to complete project phase<br />to implement the modules defined in project phase<br />to define the complete context to install the software made.Moreover students must know the general methodology of Software Engineering <br />and the rules to work in a development team and to control projects, small<br />or complex.<br /><br />

Teaching methods
Main course focus is about the deep analysis of historical and modern Software Engineering methodologies, together with complete examples from real practical experiences. But course integrates also theory with laboratory sessions, applying with practical examples principles of projecting and creating modular and well divided software components.<br />In laboratory section Java is the language most used, both for its similarity with C++, already known by students from previous courses, both for its diffusion in the market. Also some news about Microsoft C# and .NET platform are considered, since also these environment are growing in the market.<br />Evaluation of students is based on a project, in which candidate must demonstrate to have correctly applied analysis, project and modular system subdivision principles, and on an oral examination in which theory and its application into the project are discussed.<br />Final mark results from both components of exam.<br /><br />
