Course Objectives and EvolutionThe 8 credits of senior design are associated with a year long Fall-Spring sequence of courses,each carrying 4 credits. The course has core junior-level courses as prerequisites so that studentsenter with some substantive computer science fundamentals. We list below the formal courseobjectives. In the two courses, students will: 1. Learn key elements in the development of a significant year-long computer science project: planning, specification, design, analysis, and implementation. 2. Apply concepts from software engineering to the project: requirements, specification, reuse, documentation, verification and validation, testing, configuration management. 3. Learn to write about and practice
