Requirements Engineering, Master Level

The course will discuss concepts for systematically establishing, defining and managing the requirements for a large, complex, changing and information-intensive systems, from technical, organizational and management perspectives. The course will consider the past, present and future paradigms and methodologies in requirements engineering. The course will cover informal and formal approaches, while striking a balance between theory and practice. The course will involve building models of both requirements engineering process and requirements engineering product, concerning both functional and non-functional goals/requirements/specifications, using a systematic decision-making process.

The course will be conducted as a mix of lectures and seminar-style discussions. Lectures are expected to be highly dynamic and interactive. Besides active participation during class discussions, students are expected to participate in a team-oriented requirements engineering project. There is also a plan for guest lectures and direct collaboration with local companies.
