Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On the course you learn to analyze customer problems and to design solutions that satisfies customer and user needs. You also learn to describe the essence of the key software engineering activities and how they relate to each other. After the course, you are able to compare modeling methods, assess their applicability for different software engineering activities, and select appropriate design practices for the development team. Additionally, you are able to apply a set of design and modeling methods in practice.
