Objective

Student understands the phases of software engineering process and software life cycle. The student is able to work with principles of continuous integration, automatic building and testing in a software project using agile processes.

Content

The course is implemented as student group projects, where the aim is to learn:
- software engineering basics
- software life cycle
- agile methods and processes
- continuous integration, automatic building and testing (CI/CD)
- team project

Teaching methods

Software engineering is an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software production, from the early stages of system specification to maintaining the system after it has gone into use.
The course is implemented as follows:
* Weekly-based face-to-face lectures that primarily focus on the software development process.
* The lectures' examples are predominantly in Java or Python.
* Individual class and group-based projects.
* Participation in the lectures is mandatory.
The project in this course is designed to impart knowledge of software engineering and the project development lifecycle, which encompasses software architectural planning, design, and implementation within a project context. In this course, the primary focus is not the final product but rather the process employed to attain the eventual goal.

We utilize Trello for project management. Each group is required to collaborate with the teacher to establish their product backlog within Trello.
