3.00 Credits
This course surveys the engineering aspects of software system design. It concentrates on such matters as formal specification and acceptance requirements, testing and quality management techniques, and the use of CASE tools as an aid to development. Depending on time available, it may include an introduction to database design, performance analysis, and project management tools. The course forms part of the required core for the ACS master's degree. Preparation for Course P: CS 260 and either CS 460 or CS 367 or equivalent. Cr. 3. Dual Level Course Dual Level, Undergraduate-Graduate
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the process of modeling computer system requirements and design using an object-oriented language such as the UML. It presumes an iterative life-cycle, and concentrates on human-oriented aspects of systems development. These include the solicitation and definition of requirements, the design of effective interfaces, and the reconciliation of application and technical needs. Students will carry out a team project. The course forms part of the required core for the ACS master's degree. Preparation for Course P: ACS 560 and either CS 460 or CS 367 or equivalent. Cr. 3. Dual Level Course Dual Level, Undergraduate-Graduate
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of human-computer interaction (HCI) concepts, theory, and practice, including its interdisciplinary nature. Examination of human needs and capabilities, as well as technological opportunities in the design of interactive systems. Provides an overview and introduction to the field of human-computer interaction and a systematic approach to human-computer design, including tools, techniques, and sources of knowledge. Students are expected to design and evaluate user interface designs in small projects. Preparation for Course P: ACS 562. Cr. 3. Dual Level Course Dual Level, Undergraduate-Graduate
-
