Course Objectives | The main objective of this course is to obtain, identify, analyze, prioritize, balance, and model the system’s functional and non-functional requirements. More specifically, it aims to give extensive background on the software specification document, industrial standards, and UML models. Each student is required to prepare a project to show their skills developed in this course. |
Learning Outcomes | The students who succeeded in this course;
|
Course Description | In this course, students learn the theoretical and practical aspects of specification and design stages of SE. More, this course enables students to realize software specification and design phases of sample projects with real clients. |
