FDA149/TDDC54 Software Engineering


Graduate course, 3p, VT 2007 January / February 2007

CUGS core course, National Graduate School in Computer Science (CUGS)
Mandatory course for CUGS doctoral students in computer science (course code FDA149)and for computer science master students in the CUGS International master programme (course code TDDC54).

Goals: The course gives a broad overview of the theory of software engineering and treats selected topics in more depth.

Prerequisites: Data structures and algorithms; Programming in an object-oriented language (Java or C++)

FAQ: Counting of old credits for this course?
In short, FDA149 = PUM-teori (TDDC01/TDDC62) + Component-based software (TDDC18).
If you already have passed PUM-teori, you could thus skip the FDA149 exam questions about that part. The component-based software part of the FDA149 exam must be passed. The final grade will then be weighted 50:50 with your PUM exam grade.

Organization and dates

Ca. 24 hours of lectures (4 full days)

The course is given in an intensive format ("crash course") at a conference facility (Statt Hotel in Katrineholm).
The examination will be a written exam in Linköping.
For questions about local arrangements, accommodation etc., please contact Anne Moe, CUGS.
