Project Prelude Project and Team Selection

Due: Tuesday, September 15, 12:30 PM

Introduction

In order for you to gain experience with the different elements of software engineering, including some of the tools and techniques we study, you will do a small-scale team project over the rest of the semester. This 'assignment' asks for data that I can use to assign projects and teams. Please answer these questions seriously!

Tasks

1. I described four options for projects:
   • a system to support faculty and staff in the College of Natural Sciences with annual Faculty Activity Reports and associated departmental reports
   • a system to support faculty and staff in the Department of Computer Science create course schedules and produce required reports
   • a system to support me as a runner create, maintain, and use data about my training runs, including routes and trend analysis
   • a system that you propose. There is at least one ground rule: you may not be your client, or even the primary user of the system

   Which of the projects would you like to work on?

   If you are interested or willing to work on more than one of these, please say so. That will give me more freedom in placing.

   I cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to work on a particular project, but will do my best.



2. List the programming languages that you can use capably on this project.


3. List at most one person in the course with whom you would like to work on the project.


4. List at most one person in the course with whom you would like not to work on the project.


5. List any other constraints that you would like for me to take into account where possible. In particular, if you have an especially restrictive work or class schedule that will affect your ability to meet with teammates, please let me know.

Deliverables

By the due date and time, submit your answers in a text file using the electronic submission system.
