Handbook

This course is the first of the workshops series that are a key feature of the Software Engineering degree. These workshops are designed to teach students to work in teams (or groups) using agile methods and apply their theoretical knowledge to solve real-life problems. Building on foundational Software Engineering principles of first year core course COMP1531, this workshop focuses on the processes of designing and building components (APIs) of a large software application.

This workshop will offer students the opportunity to get practical experience on the activities of analysing software requirements and producing design artifacts as well as use collaborative techniques and tools to support these processes. In addition, it aims to provide students with teamwork skills and software design techniques that an engineer would use in the development process. The students will also be getting experience on different aspects of designing and developing an API microservice and a web-based application. The requirements for this course have been determined in collaboration with industry partners and will relate to developing a realistic application. The course has a number of industry sponsors that include Nine and Macquarie Bank.
