CSE125 – Software System Design and Implementation
Units: 4
Course Objectives:
This is a unique capstone course where students work in large groups on a single
project for the entire quarter. The project is large, demanding, and multi-faceted -- students
draw upon the material they have learned in numerous previous CSE courses. The project involves
significant development, and substantial programming experience is critical. Limited specialized
lab resources and close interaction with instructor require limited enrollment and instructor
approval. In addition, an application is required for admission and approval from instructor is
needed for
enrollment into CSE 125. You can find what is involved in taking the course and the application
at CSE 125 AKA "Video Game" course website.
