In addition to the specific subject knowledge, the Software Project module attempts to put into practice several concepts that the students have learned during the course, such as:

• Ability to work in a team
• Software development methodology and principles
• Good programming practices
• Technical reporting and presentation

The Software Project module is divided into three phases:

1. SRS Phase

   • Tasks: Requirements gathering, feasibility study, and project planning.

2. Design Phase

   • Tasks: Software design and project plan development.

3. Development Phase

   • Tasks: Coding and testing of the software system/application.
