Course overview

This course will allow a student to deeply explore a core area of computer science theory and practice, where students engage with an authentic, real-world problem to produce a well-crafted professional working system with all associated production artifacts. Students will attain the confidence in their skills to be able to produce a solution to a complex problem and present their work at the professional level. Many projects are sponsored by industry, government, and not-for-profit, with a small team model as the foundation of the project.
