This course is the second part of a two-part course on software engineering and will focus on the implementation, validation, evaluation and maintenance of software. The course emphasizes assurance in the software through various testing activities.

This takes the students through the steps of an IT-based startup. Students work in a team (which can be from other degree programs) to produce a minimum viable product by doing pivots in idea refinement and software development.

This course is the second part of a two-part course on software engineering and will focus on the implementation, validation, evaluation and maintenance of software. The course emphasizes assurance in the software through various testing activities.

This course is the second part of a two-part course on software engineering. While the prerequisite course, CMSC128, focuses on the principles and methods for the requirements engineering and design of software systems, this sequel will focus on the implementation, validation, evaluation, and maintenance of software.

 The course emphasizes assurance in the software through various testing activities. 

Deterministic and stochastic grammars, parsing algorithms, representing meaning/semantics, corpus-based, n-gram and HMMs, smoothing and backoff, POS tagging and morphology, information retrieval, information extraction, and language translation.

CMSC 198.1 is intended for the writing and validation of the students’ research proposals.

The course will give us a background on combinational and sequential circuits using logic gates. Learning how to design the basic combinational building blocks of circuits such as adders, decoders, encoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers going to registers, counters, and memories.
