Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

The student must be well acquainted with programming in at least one high level programming language and must have used advanced algorithms and data structures. Elementary knowledge about object-oriented analysis and design. The student must also be acquainted to work without a central course book.

Intended learning outcomes

The purpose of the course is that the students shall acquire good knowledge in large-scale software engineering. After the course the students shall be able to:

  • explain and exemplify basic concepts in the area of large-scale software engineering
  • explain how to specify, model, implement and test a software system
  • explain how to execute a software development project

Course content

The following subjects are covered in the lectures:

  • Requirements.
  • Planning and processes.
  • Design and Architecture.
  • Testing and Software Configuration Management.
  • Software Quality.

Teaching and working methods

The course contains lectures focusing on the theoretical parts of software development, with examples from industry and research. Small practical exercises and discussions are performed.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)

The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.

LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
