This module provides students with knowledge and practice of typical techniques and processes to undertake team-based development of a software system. The module builds on the Level 4 module ¿Requirements, Evaluation and Professionalism¿, as well as the fundamentals of Java programming. The module uses formal team working and agile development to give experience of software engineering in a self-organising team, typical of modern commercial practice.

Aims
To provide students with knowledge and practice of typical techniques and processes used in the team-based software engineering.
To experience an agile software development.
To present a software engineering report that includes software modelling, design, evaluation and teamwork reports.
