CSC 212, the concluding course in the software engineering series, broadens the student's perspective to encompass the full software development lifecycle, from initial concept to ongoing maintenance. Emphasizing the analysis and design of medium-sized systems, the course includes a comprehensive team project covering analysis, design, implementation, and testing phases, along with detailed documentation and test plans. Students are introduced to design patterns and advanced programming techniques using data structures and templates. A significant aspect of the course is the integration of professional ethics, software, and information assurance, addressing security concerns and liabilities in computer-based systems. The course culminates in a collaborative research project, culminating in a presentation to a live audience. This comprehensive approach prepares students for professional software development, emphasizing ethical considerations and a thorough understanding of the software lifecycle.
