Course Description
Students work in teams to design and implement a software project involving multiple areas of the CSE curriculum. Emphasis is placed on the development process itself, rather than on the product.
Prerequisites
CSE 331 or CSE 341; CSE 326 or CSE 332; CSE 351 or CSE 378; substantial programming experience such as CSE 451 or CSE 457.
CE Major Status
Selected Elective
Course Objectives
- To gain appreciation for the challenges in developing complex sensor driven computing systems.
- To experience the development of a complete sensor-driven system from design to implementation.
- To present design goals and decisions as well as implementation results in both verbal presentation and written documentation.
- To have you work in a larger team than in the past to learn about coordinating such groups.
