CSC330: Software Design and Develop

CSC330: Software Design and Development is a course that is required by all computer science students and is typically taken in the last two years of the major. CSC330 follows a typical onesemester software engineering curriculum that focuses on the entire software engineering process. Students are broken into teams of 4-5 students and remain on the same team throughout the semester to develop a real project for an on-campus client. Prior to the start of the semester, a “Request for Projects” is sent out to the entire campus community and after careful analysis, the professor chooses suitable projects for the class to develop. A sampling of completed projects which have benefitted the SCSU community include an on-campus employment website for the Career Services Department, a grant tracking application for the Department of Sponsored Programs and Research, an online competency exam for the Psychology Department and an alumni phone-a-thon application for the Office of Institutional Advancement.
