Software Engineering Project (SEP) is one of the most important subject modules for SLIIT 3rd year Software Engineering students. This subject module helped us to gain a new experience as software engineering students during the 3rd year.
For this subject module simply we had to complete a fully functional project for a real world client. This is a four member based group project and all the members should have to give their maximum effort to make it a success. The experience gained in this subject module directly helped us when we went to our internship program interviews. So it's up to you to make your project a success.
Attend the SEP lectures, don't miss them out because your lecturer provides all the resources and guidance for the project. You should find a good team to work with and you'll be allocated a supervisor to guide you through out the semester. Then meet your client and get all requirements, have a clear plan. Start building the project for the iterations,
For our SEP-I project we made an online web portal for our client, Mr. Dinal Fernando who is the owner at MyStyle International promotional products. We used PHP language to create our web portal using the codeigniter framework. I'll be discussing the basics of our project on the upcoming posts.
