Hallmark Features
  • Object-oriented. Students learn to think using modern OO and component methods. This makes the connection to the phases of the software engineering process much easier to teach, since almost all contemporary implementation languages are object-oriented.
  • Longitudinal case study using IEEE standards and Java. An application video game is used to hold the students' interest, while providing them with a direct way to understand the concepts. Instructors can cover conceptual and more difficult topics, such as formal methods, in class in greater detail.
  • Text body relates throughout to the longitudinal case study. Instructor can illustrate the meaning of system testing more easily, since a full example is available.
  • Longitudinal reference to PSP and TSP. Introduces student to the essence of individual software engineering competence.
  • Emphasis on quality and measurement. Produces professional, measurable software engineering skills.
  • Incorporates the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Software Development Process (USDP). Keeps student up-to-date with contemporary methods.
  • Extensive use of Design Patterns. Gives students sophisticated, eminently practical tools and adds a much-needed technical edge to software engineering.
  • Original color PowerPoint slides freely available. Complex design is simplified by color-coding and transition from the basic components to the fully detailed diagram. Slides track and match the text.
