PROJECT (DIT-A)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will introduce students to the practice of team developed large scale projects. The student will learn software development principles that will be utilized in the analysis, design, construction, and testing of the project. A very important component of the course will be the team project where a team of students will be responsible for the analysis, design, implementation, and testing of a significant software project. The course will contain a rather substantial amount of programming. The student is expected to enhance their knowledge in integrating subject matters to computerise a real-life manual system. 

This unit aims to develop students' skills in:

1. To apply the principles of software development life cycle learnt
2. To use data gathering methods to do the analysis work
3. To develop an application software for a given scenario
4. To analyse critically the scenario given and use system development tools and techniques learnt to document the flows and processes
5. To design inputs, output and files
6. To be involve in associated activities in a system development life cycle
7. To learn to work in a team
