  2. What’s This Class About? • This is the CSE capstone course, where you put it all together. In this course you will: • Work on a team with your fellow students  • Learn a lot about the software product development cycle by actually experiencing it • Study and implement a “real world” phased development process • Develop a working product “from scratch” • In CSE 4316 - prepare and present planning and requirements documentation for your project.  • In CSE 4317 - continue and complete the projectand demonstrate your working prototype CSE 4316

  20. Engineering Notebook • You are required to maintain an Engineering/ Project Notebook throughout the project. • Your records are an integral part of your project, therefore it will be used as a component of your grade on Individual deliverables. • Good record keeping is necessary for process improvement, and process improvement is necessary to be a good engineer/developer. • Your notebook should be brought with you to all lab/class sessions. • Notebooks are subject to inspection and grading by the GTA/Instructor at any time, without notice. • Team leader will be asked to review occasionally CSE 4316

CSE 4316

  30. Fall 2012 Team Composition (per roster as of 8/23/2012) • Current roster shows: • 8 Computer Scientists (CS) • 8 Software Engineers (SE) • 8 Computer Engineers (CpE) • We will have four teams of five, and one team of four. Each team should have: • 1-2 students from CS. • 1-2 students from SE. • 1-2 students from CpE Example Arrangement CSE 4316

  31. How We’re Going to Do Things • This a small company: “Superior Designs, Inc. ” • You are the development department • Divided into teams for various projects (products) • Each team has a team lead • We use a proven, phased development process • You develop and get approval for the roadmap to deliver your product on time • Weekly “staff” meetings to review project status/progress (generally, Friday lab period) • Failure of one team => failure of company CSE 4316

  32. How We’re Going to Do Things • I am the “boss” (development manager) • I will mentor you & help you learn how to do your job • I will approve your plans • I will approve your project expenses • I am available for consultation anytime I’m available • Note: I will take trips, attend off-site meetings, etc., but the projects must continue... don’t delay critical work • I believe every question is worth answering • I don’t do your work for you • I don’t do your research for you • I don’t know everything about anything • I expect you to do your job, and will measure you on how well you do it CSE 4316

  33. How We’re Going to Do Things • This semester you will: • Establish and build your team • Be assigned to a team project (product) • Establish your plan (schedule, budget, etc.) • Complete your Requirements Specification (SRS) • and a successful Requirements Gate Review • Conduct feasibility analysis • Complete your team’s Project Charter • Get started on Architecture/Design • Next semester you will complete the project • architecture/design, implementation, test, prototype delivery and final acceptance CSE 4316

  34. Work Load • You have roughly 5-6 months of calendar working time for your project. • That’s, at most, 500 man-hours per team member • A 5 person team has 2500 man-hours to complete the project (4 people => 2000 man-hours) • Equivalent of about one man-year, or 5 K delivered lines of source code by typical metrics • Don’t pad your schedule trying to make it easy on yourself • Expect to spend 10-15 hours every week outside of the classroom on the project • Failure to expend the required time will result in failure to complete the project (with a similar effect on your course grade) CSE 4316

  35. Work Load • Plan your work, then work your plan • Learn your tools well, and the work load will be lighter. • Do it the way we talk about in class, and you’ll spend less time redoing things. • Remember: the methods we discuss are time-tested by industry… they work! CSE 4316

  36. ABET • Must pass all ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology) Outcome Assessments to pass this class. • SD I ABET Outcome is: • Ability to function on a multi-disciplinary team • Will be assessed by peer evaluation at end of semester CSE 4316
