  Stable broadband connection required to access online learning materials and live chat sessions/recordings. (note: mobile broadband users may have difficulties participating in live chat sessions)

This subject is designed to provide you opportunity to gain knowledge and skills necessary to analyse, design and implement complex software engineering projects.

You should learn to analyse and design fairly complex real-life systems, working as teams. You are also made aware of current software engineering standards and processes. You are also taught to consider qualitative aspects including maintainability, extensibility, reusability and robustness in every stage of the software-engineering life-cycle. 

At the end of the subject you should be able to combine top-down and bottom-up approaches to software design and choose the most appropriate process considering the underlying technology, project duration, the level of risks and the customer expectations.
