In this course you will: team  Work on a team with your fellow students software product development cycle  Learn a lot about the software product development cycle by actually experiencing it phased development process  Study and implement a “real world” phased development process  Develop a working product  Develop a working product “from scratch” planning and requirements  In CSE prepare and present planning and requirements documentation for your project. complete the project  In CSE continue and complete the project and demonstrate your working prototype

For submissions more than 10 hours late, grade is zero.  All out-of-class work must be “typed” – handwritten work is not acceptable.

1 CSE Your first assignment  See course web page for details.  Papers should be formatted according to Senior Design Standard 001 (see website)  Submit on Blackboard

1 CSE Engineering Notebook  You are required to maintain an Engineering/ Project Notebook throughout the project. your grade on Individual deliverables  Your records are an integral part of your project, therefore it will be used as a component of your grade on Individual deliverables.  Good record keeping is necessary for process improvement, and process improvement is necessary to be a good engineer/developer. brought with you  Your notebook should be brought with you to all lab/class sessions. inspection and grading  Notebooks are subject to inspection and grading by the GTA/Instructor at any time, without notice.  Team leader will be asked to review occasionally

1 CSE Ethics assume that you all are honest and ethical  Today, I assume that you all are honest and ethical  If you give me reason to believe that you are not, the UTA Engineering College Code of Ethics will be enforced. may assist your fellow students  You may assist your fellow students, (in fact, this is encouraged and expected)  You may not allow your fellow students to copy your work, or copy theirs.  Unauthorized  Unauthorized shared work will be treated as cheating.

1 CSE Class Website every class day  Check it at least every class day  All presentations and class materials are posted there  Assignments will be posted there when assigned.  Also: supporting info, relevant standards, required forms, etc.

1 CSE The Projects – General Guidelines  Maximum size of a project is one cubic yard – 3’ x 3’ x 3’ (guideline only, verify)  Projects MUST be approved and assigned by me before work begins.  Each team has a budget of $800 for required product components

1 CSE The Projects – General Guidelines  What you may not have:  Security systems or parts thereof i.e., anything that might ‘mess with” campus network  Research projects  Remote-control vehicle projects This does not include remote-controlled testing of autonomous vehicles, or autonomous additions to RC vehicles.

1 CSE Sponsored Projects  It is expected that you will have an external “customer” for your project.  Encourages a more realistic project  Injects outside feedback  Some sponsors may even fund project

1 CSE Lab/Work Area  Senior Design Lab is 208 ERB  Each team will have:  a dedicated area (cubicle) of about 160 sq. ft. for your team activities.  adequate chairs and table space  a lockable cabinet for storage of parts, etc.  a team computer  READ and understand “Lab Rules of Etiquette” paper

1 CSE Lab/Work Area  For lab access you will need your badge/ ID and your self service PIN number.  Swipe your badge, then key in 5-digit PIN  If you don’t know your PIN, you can get it by:  going to  clicking “VIEW INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNTS”,  logging in with your MavID and password  Your PIN will be shown with other account information

1 CSE Tools  You may be required to learn and use the current versions of the following:  MS Office  MS Project  Others may be required to complete your specific project

1 CSE How We’re Going to Do Things Superior Designs, Inc.  This a small company: “Superior Designs, Inc. ”  You are the development department  Divided into teams for various projects (products)  Each team has a team lead  We use a proven, phased development process  You develop and get approval for the roadmap to deliver your product on time  Weekly “staff” meetings to review project status/progress (generally, Friday lab period)  Failure of one team => failure of company

1 CSE How We’re Going to Do Things  I am the “boss” (development manager)  I will mentor you & help you learn how to do your job  I will approve your plans  I will approve your project expenses  I believe every question is worth answering  I don’t do your work for you  I don’t do your research for you  I don’t know everything about anything  I expect you to do your job, and will measure you on how well you do it
