Information
Plan and implement a professional software project!
Together in a team of 5-8 students you will learn to plan, manage and implement a professional real-world software project. All project topics originate from industry partners, outside the campus.
You develop your own solution strategy and learn to organize yourself as a team. You have to collectively specify requirements and define processes for your team. Other focuses of this course are learning how to create a design for a large software architecture and how to assure the quality of such a project. Apart from the technical details you will acquire experience in communication with a business client and develop invaluable soft skills.

Organization & Moodle
There is no moodle course for the SEP, but if you take the SEP as a replacement for the TPSE, make sure you have registered for that course in TUCaN, which should automatically add you to the TPSE moodle course.
For the SEP, all communication will happen via your group mentor or through email announcements.
Contact
We are using email as the central communication channel and for all announcements. You can send an email to your individual group mentor or to the coordinator.
