Welcome to CS 490!

Welcome to CS 490: Guided Design in Software Engineering! This is a course about building software that satisfies stronger properties than “it works”: it’s about building software that is correct, reliable, maintainable, testable, and usable. That is, this course will teach you about how to build software well.

The course is structured around giving you experience in both the theory (through readings and lectures) and the practice (through programming assignments and a large group project) of software engineering.

On this course website, you can find:

• the syllabus,
• announcements,
• a course calendar (which includes links to the required readings)),
• a staff page,
• links to all assignments,
• useful tutorials,
• and a weekly schedule.
