CMPT 385	CMPT 385 Introduction to Software Engineering Course Credits: 3 An introduction to the theory of designing and carrying out large software projects. All stages of the software engineering cycle, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance will be examined. The student will complete a semester-long team based project. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 150, 166, and 231. (3-3; 0-0) NB: Not offered every year. See department chair
CMPT 386	CMPT 386 Software Engineering II Course Credits: 3 This course will study advanced techniques, tools, and standards in software engineering. The student will complete a semester-long team based project Prerequisite(s): CMPT 385. (0-0; 1-6) NB: Not offered every year.
CMPT 400	CMPT 400 Directed Studies in Computing Science Course Credits: 1, 3 Students are required to produce an outline of the topic studied in consultation with the instructor. A course of reading and/or experimentation is pursued according to the approved outline. Assessment may be via examination and/or a final written report. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science. NB: This course with the appropriate choice of topics can be used as a preparation for the senior thesis (CMPT 410) or senior project (CMPT 420). This course can only be taken with the consent of the academic computing coordinator.
CMPT 401	CMPT 401 Special Topics in Computing Science Course Credits: 3 A study of special topics or issues in computing science that are not considered in-depth in other courses. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science or instructor's permission. NB: Not offered every year. Course may be repeated.
CMPT 409	CMPT 409 Thesis Preparation Course Credits: 1 Students are required to choose a topic for their senior thesis (CMPT 410 or 411) in consultation with an instructor. Selected readings and references pertinent to the topic are assigned. A final written report is presented, consisting of a detailed thesis proposal and a literature review. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science or instructor's consent. NB: A student is allowed credit for only one of CMPT 409 or 419.
CMPT 410	CMPT 410 Senior Thesis Course Credits: 2 Students research a chosen area of computing science and provide a final written report. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 409, a related directed study in preparation, or instructor's consent. NB: Normally 2 sem. hrs. are assigned unless prior arrangement is made with the department chair and registrar.
CMPT 411	CMPT 411 Senior Thesis Course Credits: 3 Students research a chosen area of computing science and provide a final written report. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 409, a related directed study in preparation, or instructor's consent. NB: Normally 2 sem. hrs. are assigned for a senior thesis unless prior arrangement is made with the department chair and registrar.
CMPT 419	CMPT 419 Project Preparation Course Credits: 1 Students are required to choose a topic for their senior group project (CMPT 420 or 421) in consultation with the instructor. Selected readings and references pertinent to the topic are assigned. A final written report (software requirements document) is produced giving a detailed specification of the proposed software project. Prerequisite(s): Advanced standing in computing science or instructor's consent. NB: A student is allowed credit for only one of CMPT 409 or 419.
CMPT 420	CMPT 420 Special Topics - Senior Collaborative Project Course Credits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Students work on a major collaborative software project in a chosen area of computing science and provide a final report and presentation. At least two, and normally not more than five people, work as a team to design, code, debug, test, and document the software. Prerequisite(s): CMPT 419, a related directed study, or instructor's consent
