Senior Design is an integral component of all three of our CS majors. In this year-long course, student groups learn formal software engineering principles and processes, and apply them to a large software project for a client. Through a process of continuous refinement with client feedback, each group delivers a design document, product implementation, testing framework, and technical and user’s manuals.
