Abstract

There are inherent differences in appropriate methodologies for developing hardware-oriented and software-oriented projects. Due to a recent change in the curriculum requirements for computer science students, the need to revise the senior design curriculum for students working on software-oriented projects has arisen. With graduate student supervision, a senior design team developed an online crime reporting system. The need for revision was apparent throughout the development process. This paper discusses difficulties encountered by the team and offers solutions to those obstacles, particularly in the areas of scheduling, documentation, development environment, and the security of software applications.
