Students will develop large commercial and industrial software systems as a team-based effort that puts technical quality at centre stage. The module will focus on the early stage of software development, encompassing team building, requirements specification, architectural and detailed design, and software construction. Group work (where each team of students will develop a system selected using a business planning exercise) will guide the software engineering learning process. Teams will be encouraged to have an active, agile approach to problem solving through the guided study, evaluation and integration of practically relevant software engineering concepts, methods, and tools.

Principles of Software Engineering aims at providing students with both an in-width and an in-depth understanding of disciplined approaches to the software development process, which facilitates the further in-depth understanding gained during the subsequent sibling course in term two.
Teamwork-based practicals focusing on the preliminary stage of a software development project chosen by students aims at complementing the learning process.
