Spring Semester 2025

Course: Software Engineering (EECE3093C / CS3093C)
Section: 001
Location: Swift 500
Days/Times: TuTh 12:30-1:50
Office Hours: By appointment.
Instruction Mode: The lecture portion of this course is in-person. This means that class will be conducted entirely via in-person class meetings that take place at the location and times noted. The laboratory component will be implemented in an asynchronous setting – allowing you to participate in laboratory activities independently, at different times, and from different locations.
Textbook: We will use several textbooks for this course. All books will be available online through UC’s institutional agreement with O’Reilly Media. Please see the following FAQs for access instructions. Supplemental materials will be provided as needed throughout the semester.

Note

As with all university courses, attendance and participation are important measures of student success. Attendance will be recorded, but these records will only be used in your favor. Specifically, strong attendance may result in the instructor adjusting your final grade upward if you are on the border between two grades (for example, from an A- at 92% to an A). The final decision rests with the instructor.
