Abstract :
This paper identifies the issues in running a full year software engineering project (SE project) for the total cohort of students in the third year and proposes solutions for the problems raised. Mounting such a course requires careful preparation of the project handbook, lecture materials, supporting tutorials, practical lab classes, consultations, and weekly supervision, as well as clearly defined continuous assessment. The response from employers and graduates to the software engineering project has been very positive
