All project demonstrations and evaluations will be on Friday, 26 January, between 9:00 and 12:30. A project demo duration will be 30-45 minutes depending on projects. Estimate your time using your row in this table.

All team members must be in the lab at your presentation time. When evaluating a project team, other teams will not be in the lab.

You should come at least 30-45 minutes before your demo time, your team may be called earlier depending on the project presentations on Friday morning. 

Upload all your project work to your project web site before your demo time.

You will submit your printed documents, updated RAD, SAD, and UM, before your demonstration.

Your running program, UML modeling and development tools (Borland Together 2006 Release 2 for Eclipse) must be ready before you show your final work.

Your program must be running without your development tool! That is you should have deployed and put all your class files into a JAR file and run it using only a Java Run Time Environment (JRE). In short, it should be a product, not a developing application in a development environment!

You should also bring your Project Contribution Report. Prepare it using this template.

When evaluating your project, I'll use this document for your project organization, tasks and assignments. For grading criteria for Coding and Product (CP), look at the announcement written on 20 December 2006 given below.

Final exam: 15 January 2007, 14:30, E-302.

This is a comprehensive exam covering some important topics of Software Engineering given in this semester. You are responsible from all chapters.

It is a closed book and notes exam.

This year's midterm questions and answers are here.

This is a sample final exam given in the Spring 2005 semester. There are also partial solutions in the zip file. First try to solve the problems, then look at the solutions.

I hope you have learned some new exciting things ... modern object oriented analysis, design, and implementation techniques using UML, Design Patterns, Java and Software Development Processes to develop a complex software project with a small team having limited resources (qualified developers, time, ...) and some people related problems...

Have a good final exam period... I wish you all the best for your future Software Engineering in your professional life...  H. G.

The next Monday (25 December) after the class time (13:00 - 16:00) is the sharp deadline for SAD and your system architecture, and updated RADs. You should also bring your old graded RADs.

Please use the SAD template having 10 headings given in lecture slides on page 152. You can get some ideas from the SAD samples given below, but don't use their formats.

You have to show your software architecture and first working prototype based on PCMEF meta architecture using Together and your implementation tool (Eclipse or JBuilder) in the computer lab on Monday afternoon.

You have to show your packages, their dependencies, class diagrams, your updated functional model (Use Case model and companion HTML documents), updated some dynamic views (sequence, activity, state diagrams depending on your project) using Together. 
------------------------

Your User Manual (UM), Coding and Product (CP) will be graded on Friday, 12 January 2007. Your Process and Communication (PC) have being graded for some time...

The grading criteria for Coding and Product (CP):
Software Architecture and Development Techniques   (35)
  Architecture and Project Difficulty (Subsystem decomposition based on PCMEF, packages, classes, inheritance, ...) (20)
  Applying UML and Patterns (15)

Coding and Implementation (35)
  Coding Style and Coding Documentation (15)
       (Java coding style and documentation - generated Javadoc HTML API showing packages, classes and their explanations )
  Testing Process (10)
  Audits and Metrics for Source Code (10)

Product (30)
  Final Product for Naive End User: Working Software (Functionality, usability, user friendliness, …) (30)

The announcements on this page may be updated depending on your questions and some new needs. So please check this page for a while ...

You have your midterm exam next Monday, 11th of December at 10:00 am, in class.

I will continue the System Design in the first hour, so please come also to the lecture before the exam hour.

The exam will touch all topics covered so far (slide 73 of the lecture 6).

It will be closed book and notes.

Look at the last time schedule of our course given above and arrange your project work according to this time table... 

On remaining Mondays including next Monday your project team should come and show your work. Remember the PC, Process and Communication (with talking, documentation and your working product), part of the course. That's very important, don't neglect it, you will be graded for PC also ...

A midterm sample from previous years.

Please download this HW3 (Introduction to Design Patterns) and do it until next lecture (13 November, Monday, class time).

You have to also submit your final Project Proposal next Monday.

Welcome back to CENG 401 after two weeks!

This was a really long term break, so we have to compensate it with
1) a homework assignment (HW2),
2) the first draft of your project proposal (read below, 10 October) and
3) a lecture makeup. (Day, time, class ???)

You should hand in your HW2 and project proposal next Monday, 6 November.

Before writing your proposal your team (with all project team members) should talk to your TA and/or me in our office hours.

The names of project teams, later their projects and links to their web pages will be posted to the web page of your TA.

The results of HW1 are posted here. Look at this page for your grades and course grading.

The second homework assignment (Introduction to UML and a Modeling Tool) will be given after Ramazan Bayrami.

HW1: Please download the following MP3 radio recording from here (43.1 MB) or Software Engineering Radio internet web site.

After downloading the file, listen to it and answer the questions in this file.

Start to form your project team (5 members) and think about your project. You will submit your project proposal soon...  You can use this Project Proposal template when preparing your proposal.

When considering your project organization, use this document. Customize this simple project organization model for your project. I'll update it later.
