Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: Theory
------------------------
The aim of this course is to provide the basic scientific and professional skills relate to software engineering. In particular, the course will focus on the different phases of software development and production: planning, design, modeling and specification, implementation, validation and test, evaluation and maintenance. The lab activities will provide skills required for the development of graphical user interfaces both in Java and Phyton. At the end of the course, the student will have to show: her knowledge about the software development process and the related methodologies and techniques; her ability to apply the acquired knowledge to develop and analyse software systems, even considering graphical user interfaces with Java/Phyton; her skills in communicating and interacting with different stakeholders when designing, implementing, and using a software system in complex organizations; the capability of extending her knowledge and skills for autonomously continuing her studies related to software development techniques, even considering different application domains.
------------------------
MM: Lab
------------------------
The aim of this module is to support the student during the planning, documentation, and implementation of a software application using the techniques introduces during the theory course, with an emphasis on the development of graphical user interfaces in Java.

Examination Methods

------------------------ MM: Theory and Exercises ------------------------
The examination, for a student, either attending and not attending classes, consists of a project related to lab activities and of an oral examination. Such an exam will allow one to show both his communication skills and his knowledge about Software Engineering. The student will also demonstrate their skills in applying their knowledge in "practical" software engineering tasks.

------------------------ MM: Lab ------------------------
The examination consists of a project related to lab activities. The project has to be presented and discussed during the oral exam.
