About the Course

Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. In this core lecture (9 CP), we expand on earlier exposure to software engineering (for instance, the software lab / SoPra from Saarland University's Bachelor's program) and do a detailed exploration of software engineering topics like:

The course consists of two parts: A project part, in which you work in a team of 5–7 students with a customer to engineer a prototypical software solution to a problem, and a course part, which provides the necessary skills for completing the projects. Assuming that you already know about programming, the course will specifically focus on the early stages of software development (in particular requirements and design) as well as on the late stages (in particular quality assurance).

This is a highly practical course. Most of your grade will be based on the project, the remaining is based on the written exam. You need to pass the project as well as the written exam.

Registration

Registration for the course is mandatory. Registration for the course is closed.

If you are an international student that cannot register in HISPOS, most probably the proof of course completion you will get from us should be enough for your exchange program coordinator. If you are not sure, contact your coordinator.

Please note, for organizational reasons you have to sign up both in the course registration form given below and in HISPOS.
Deadlines for the HISPOS registration will be posted in the HISPOS portal and announced by email.

Grading

• Need to pass both project and exam to pass.
• Project grades based on group performance. More details here.
