Is able to demonstrate creativity when solving problems related to professional and scientific research, arising in the development, application, maintenance, and improvement of software, ensuring its quality and security.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
Study subjects (modules):
Advanced Machine Learning, Computational Intelligence and Decision Making, Research Project 1, Software Engineering Process, Software Requirements Analysis, Component Based Software System Design, Methods for Software Quality Assurance, Research Project 2, Semantic Models of Data, Management of Software Implementation, Product Development Team Management and Decision Making, Research Project 3, Software Engineering Management, Master’s Degree Final Project, Software Maintenance and Evolution, Software Security Engineering.
