Where ACS-4901 counts

Required by 2 programs:

ACS 4-YEAR BSc IN APPLIED COMPUTER SCIENCE
ACS BSc (HONOURS) IN

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course applies the principles and techniques of software project management covered in ACS-3901(3) to a significant systems development project undertaken by students in teams. A project proposal, project plan, regular status reports, and a completion report are required. All work must conform to proper analysis, design, programming, and documentation standards. Each team holds status reviews at appropriate life-cycle milestones. A final presentation and a formal demonstration of the system are required at the end of the project.

Requisite courses

ACS-2814 (or the former ACS-2914), ACS-3901, ACS-3902, ACS-3909 and ACS-3913 with a minimum grade of C, and a minimum Average GPA of 2.0 in all ACS-xxxx courses previously taken [prerequisite(s)].

Restrictions

Department Chair Perm Required. Students may not hold credit for this course and BUSC-3920 | BUSC-4901.
