MSCI 245 & 342 - Databases & Software Engineering

These are Dr. Mark Smucker's public video lectures for MSCI 245 (Databases and Software Design) and MSCI 342 (Principles of Software Engineering).  These courses are part of the core curriculum of the Management Engineering (MGTE) program at the University of Waterloo.  The courses are effectively a two course sequence and are the third and fourth information systems courses that MGTE students take.  In MSCI 245, students continue to learn how to design and implement information systems.  The complexity of the information systems increases to include multi-tier web apps with storage in a relational database.  In MSCI 342,  students learn to work as a team to design and build, from scratch, an information system for a client using an Agile development process and industry standard engineering practices and tools.
