From the catalog: This course is a general introduction to Software Engineering. The course will cover the specification, development, management, and evolution of complex software systems. Students will learn how to cost-effectively apply the methods and theory from Computer Science to solve difficult problems. The course presents a broad perspective on software and system engineering and surveys a wide spectrum of tools and techniques. Students are required to complete a project as part of a small software engineering team. Students will form groups and choose a software project early in the course, then apply methodologies learned in the course to complete their project. Each day lecture meets for 50 minutes and lab meets for 150 minutes. Prerequisite: CMPS 2020 with a grade of C- or better.

Attendance Class attendance is both recommended and required. Missing a class period can cause a zero score for the following assignment types: - lab assignment - pop quiz - assignment given verbally - hands-on coding assignment - participation exercise - project presentation - others that may not be listed Attendance is taken before class begins. When the "bell rings", you should be in your seat and ready to go. Note: Current time is determined using an Andriod phone which runs about 15-seconds behind the official U.S. time presented on www.time.gov. Plan your time using time.gov and never be late. Attendance scoring: If you miss one class session, no big deal. The second class missed causes a deduction of 1/2 percent to your overall course grade. The count then starts again and every second class missed causes a 0.5% deduction in your grade. If you arrive late to class once, no penalty. The second late arrival causes a deduction of 1 percent to your overall course grade. The count then starts again and every second late arrival causes a 1.0% deduction in your grade. Labs Labs are hands-on assignments designed to be done in the classroom on classroom computers. You may install the necessary components on your own laptop computer, and bring it to class. - Attendance is required for any credit. - Full attendance is required for full credit. Full attendance is defined as coming to class on-time and working throughout the entire lab session. Lab assignments are due by the end of the lab period. A lab assignment could be extended into a homework assignment, but the lab portion is still due during class. Important: Do no arrive late to a lab session and then ask another student to help you with the assignment. This can result in a quick score of zero. Homework Homework assignments and due dates will be posted on the course website. It is common for a lab assignment to be extended into a homework assignment. Sharing of assignment files is not allowed. If you miss a class session, do not ask for or accept the completed or partially-completed assignment files of another student. This will result in a score of zero for all students involved. Instead, ask your instructor how to get caught-up with the class. Quizzes A quiz is a short exam that covers current material from reading, lecture, lab, homework, and project material. Quizzes can be online or written. A quiz can be given at any time during any class session. This is sometimes referred to as a pop-quiz. Exams Exams will be announced in advance. A midterm exam will be given at approximately week 7. The Midterm exam will consist of a minimum of the following: - written exam - hands-on programming exam A final exam will be scheduled during the designated time block. The exact date will be posted. Late Assignment Policy Assignments submitted late are not accepted and receive a score of zero. Time Conflicts Time conflicts are not allowed. Your own personal schedule must allow you to arrive on-time to class, and stay for the entire class period. If you have a time conflict, you must disclose it to the instructor on the first day of class. CMPS-3350 is a hands-on course taught in-person in the classroom by your instructor. This course is in no way an on-line course. In-class assignments are not to be done at some remote location. All exams require your in-class on-time attendance also. Accommodations Students requiring accommodations should speak with the instructor at the start of the course. To make arrangements for accomodations, please contact SSD at the following link: SSD Classroom Behavior Please do not smoke, vape, chew, spit in the classrooms or anywhere on campus.

If a disability requires you to record a class session, then please contact SSD so accommodations can be made. Academic Integrity Policy All work done in this course is individual work, unless specified otherwise. Please do not share your work with other students. A portion of the course and your grade is based upon group work. You may work with other classmates, share ideas, and discuss solutions. The group portion of the course will be clearly defined. Refer to the Academic Integrity policy printed in the campus catalog and class schedule. Violations are enforced in accordance with the Department's policy on academic honesty. Compile and build standards for all work Compile flags C++11, C++14, and C++17 are not needed for work in this course. If you need them, please make sure your programs compile on the odin server and on our classroom computers. Your instructor reserves the right to amend this syllabus during the semester.
