MCIS 2814 - Computer Science III

Computer Science III covers advanced-level structured programming, object-oriented programming, and software engineering. This course emphasizes the lifecycle of software development from problem description to maintenance. Implementation of medium to large-sized programming projects using object-oriented design techniques and modern development environment software tools will be stressed. Software engineering topics include lifecycles, metrics, requirements specifications, design methodologies, validation and verification, testing, reliability, and project planning. It also addresses issues such as security, ethics, and professionalism. This course can be taught using any object-oriented programming language. Currently, Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Express is used.

This course is presented as a combined lecture and laboratory course. Concepts are presented by lectures and reading assignments. Specific time for students to work on their programming projects and ask questions about their code is provided during a laboratory section. Notice that students most likely will need to spend additional time outside of the laboratory time to complete their assignments and may ask questions during the instructor’s office hours.
