Use of ALIEN services and tools
This course presents advanced concepts to the students and prepares them for working in professional environments. The class is divided in two groups which are given the same project. The groups then follow a complete project-based learning approached combined with agile development with 2-week sprint cycles. Each group alpha, beta and pilot tests the solution of the other group. The active learning approach allows students to incorporate professional development skills during their studies so that they are prepared for their future work life as software engineers.
