Proposed BCS Program Changes

First year

No change

Second year

  • Old:
    • COMP 2404 as Introduction to Software Engineering
  • New:
    • COMP 2404 as a systems programming course using C++ and Windows
  • Rationale: Group work, which is required for a true software engineering course, is a formidable challenge for second year students who have not yet developed the maturity and skills required to work as a team. This experience is better delayed until COMP 3004 in third year. ** add something about the usefulness of systems programming in Windows **

Third year

  • Old:
    • COMP 3004 as a 0.5 credit course
  • New:
    • COMP 3004 as a 1.0 credit course
    • Decrease in elective credits by 0.5
  • Rationale: In order to include a project that fully conveys the learning objectives, the course requires double the workload of a regular 0.5 credit course.

Fourth year

No change

Stream specific

No change

Proposed Course Changes

2404: Systems Programming II

  • Old:
  • New:
  • Rationale:

3004: Object-Oriented Software Engineering

  • Old:
    • COMP 3004 [0.5 credit] Object-Oriented Software Engineering
    • Description: Theory and development software systems. This course will discuss computer ethics. Possible topics include: software development processes, requirement specification, class and scenario modeling, state modeling, UML, design patterns, traceability. Students are to complete a team project using a CASE tool.
  • New:
    • COMP 3004 [1.0 credit] Object-Oriented Software Engineering
    • Description: Theory and development software systems. Possible topics include: software development processes, requirement analysis, class and scenario modeling, state modeling, UML, design patterns, traceability, project management, configuration management, professional ethics, writing and presentation skills. Students are to complete a team project.
