Software Engineering (IT) (COMPSCI5059, 2022-2025, approx. 300 Students)

I am the coordinator of this graduate-level course offered mainly to the students of Information Technology Masters Program. The course is taught over two semesters: During the Fall (first) semester the course introduces students to the processes behind building software (e.g., Are we building the right thing? How to manage a project), covering agile software development practices, including Lean Software Development, Scrum and Kanban. The topics covered during the Spring (second) semester comprise good coding practices (e.g., reducing coupling, improving cohesion, error handling, safe classes and packages), unit testing and design patterns (e.g., singleton, iterator, composite, creational patterns).
