Software Engineering Essentials (SEECx) - Summer 2018

Course Information:

  • Important: This course is intended for incoming master students who have to take a software engineering "bridge course" (Brückenkurs)
  • Language: English
  • Type: Online Course
  • Module: IN1504
  • ECTS Credits: 5
  • Time and Location: The online course is a self-paced course that starts on April 24, 2018
  • TUM students take a final assessment at the end of the semester on site at TUM
  • Register and participate in the online course on https://www.edx.org/course/software-engineering-essentials 

Important Information

  • Active participation is helpful.
  • TUM students pass the course if they earn at least 60% of the total exercise points.
  • TUM students can earn exercises points by successfully completing:
    • Homework (46%)
    • Project Work (23%)
    • Final Assessment (31%)
  • The final assessment will be computer based at TUM on site at the end of the semester, more details will be announced in the course. 

Additional Information

Worldwide learners

  • Learners from all over the world participate in
    1. Interactive exercises
    2. A final assessment
  • They can start the final assessment online independently and then have 2 hours to answer all questions.
  • If they pass the course, they receive an online certificate from edX, but no ECTS from TUM.
  • Participation in the project work is voluntary, will not be assessed and is therefore not necessary for passing the course.

TUM students

  • TUM students who need a grade in TUMOnline participate in
    1. Interactive exercises
    2. Project work
    3. A final assessment (under supervision at the end of the semester)
  • TUM students take the course as a bridge course (incoming master students) or might be able to use the ECTS otherwise (please talk to your study advisor if this is possible)
  • Important: They must complete the final assessment at the end of the semester under supervision (i.e. they cannot do it alone or at any other time)
  • The project work is assessed and taken into account for grading.

Content

  • Project Organization and Communication
  • Agile Methods and Prototyping
  • Software Configuration Management
  • Distributed Version Control
  • Object-Oriented Programming
