Building a complete system that meets all functional requirements and is technically sound is a challenging, multifaceted, and iterative process which requires one to bring to bear all that he has learned throughout his C.S. education.
Under the supervision of faculty, students will complete a realistic software engineering project that solves a real-world problem and meets or exceeds all relevant functional and technical criteria.
While existing libraries, APIs, etc., may be used for most parts of the system, the project must include independently solving, originally in one’s own code, a non-trivial distributed systems challenge.
