| Synopsis: | You will work in a team to propose, design, develop, and evaluate a software system, using a modern software process such as agile. You will learn how to gather requirements, specify software, develop models in preparation for writing code, as well as test and evaluate software. You will consider risk management, cyber-security, and other ethical aspects, as well as report on the process and the resulting software.
