Content
Students work as a team (typically 4 - 6 individuals) to develop a software product for a nominated client. Where possible, clients are external to the university. Each group is supervised closely by a member of staff who acts as a project manager. Teams are required to produce a formal management plan and software requirements document that are in accordance with currently accepted software engineering and user centred design principles and practices. These requirements involve analysis of project requirements, project design and development. The final milestone involves a formal oral presentation of the completed software at which the user is present.
