Software Engineering Group Projects (COMP3100/3500/4500)

Welcome to SE_Projects for 2012

This course builds on our belief that software engineering is about using scientific knowledge, mathematical insight, analysis, creativity, practical know-how, and above all a disciplined approach to design and synthesis, to devise and construct useful things that work reliably (Dr Peter Greenwood, President of Engineers Australia, April 2003).

This means, above all, that we will teach and help students to make and implement appropriate engineering decisions related to the development of software systems that deliver measurable value to industry and university clients.

Students will be organised into teams which will work with industry and university clients on real-world projects. The principal role of COMP4500 students will be to manage the projects while COMP3100/3500 students will develop and deliver the technical expertise needed to complete the software engineering life cycle activities required to deliver software of value to their clients.

Industry Participation

This course would not be possible without the support of our industry and other partners. The following organisations have proposed projects in 2012. The support of these organisations and individuals is an important component of software engineering education provided by the department and is very much appreciated.

How can my organisation get involved?

If you are interested in having a team of 3rd and 4th year students undertake the development of a small software product that would be of benefit to your organisation, please contact Lynette Johns-Boast. We have also prepared a guide which provides detailed information about getting involved in our program. You should also look at the Agreement for a Student Project with an Industry Client.
