Abstract

Web applications are an intricate part of the world today. Everything from banking to checking our Facebook status may now be done through the use of web applications. Todays students need to balance numerous concerns in order to create a web application that is robust, on time and on budget. At the Department of Software Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, we created a course called Web Engineering. As part of this course, we developed an innovative project component which focused on students following software engineering principles such as elicitation, requirements generation, testing and deployment.
