Base Knowledge
The knowledge base for this curricular unit is taught throughout the course.
Teaching Methodologies
Classes will be taught in a laboratory practice format, in computer rooms. The expository methodology will be employed for presenting the concepts of the course, supported by debates/discussions in class.
The project-based learning methodology will lead to the production of a software product, enabling students to engage in active investigation, apply knowledge in practice, and develop autonomy and collaborative skills.
Learning Results
The aim of this curricular unit is for the student to develop skills in articulating the main knowledge acquired throughout their academic career, through the appropriate development of a project, in accordance with the software project development life cycle.
Goals
The student must be able to develop the main activities associated with the implementation of a computer project, such as requirements gathering and analysis, system design, database implementation, coding and system testing.
Skills
The aim is to place greater emphasis on technical, project management and teamwork skills. The knowledge acquired throughout the course, in the most varied curricular units, will be applied in the development of the project, allowing the mastery of new tools and technologies. At the same time, planning and organizing the execution of tasks efficiently, ensuring deadlines are met. Finally, teamwork is intended to enable them to collaborate effectively, sharing responsibilities, culminating in the satisfaction of the project’s objectives.
