Course objectives
The course aim is to make students experience a real work on a specified complex software, where student's primary task is to develop a specific functionality. They will also be responsible for the integration of the programming results into the production version of the software involved, and the role of a technical team leader. The teaching of the course will be connected with the teaching of the bachelor's course PB175 Project Management and Project. Unlike PB175, however, PA187 students will be expected to fulfill more senior roles in joint teams.
