1. Course File seminar NCAAA SSR Preparation (3rd dec 2015)
Presenter:
Muhammad Ahsan Asim
Vice-Head QAU, NCAAA Team Lead
QAU, College of CS & IS

2. Continuous Improvements
Course Assessment (by CC Presentation)
Uniformity of Teaching Material in all groups / Grade Synchronization
Course Objectives
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), Teaching Strategies & Assessment Methods according to NCAAA-NQF
CLOs vs PLOs Mapping Matrix according to NCAAA-NQF

3. NCAAA National Quality Framework (NQF)
Provides FIVE learning domains
Recommends that Normally CLOs should not exceed more than EIGHT
CLOs should be aligned with PLOs
One course may or may not have CLOs from all five learning domains
One course may Satisfy more than one PLO

4. Guidelines to write CLOs
CLOs should be derived from Course Objectives
CLOs are intended not actual
Should not be complex and ambiguous
Should be measureable and specific

5. NQF Learning Domains NQF Learning Domains Suggested Verbs Knowledge
list, name, record, define, label, outline, state, describe, recall, memorize, reproduce, recognize, record, tell, write

6. Software Engineering (INFS-334) CLOs derived from Course Objectives
On Completion of this Course students will be able to:
Describe the life cycle of Software Engineering and its importance in software industry.
List the strengths and weaknesses of different software process models.
Predict the Process Models according to scenario, justify their appropriateness and apply them effectively.
Develop graphical models for analysis & design artifacts using UML.
Create activity diagrams and charts for project planning.
Measure the quality of software using V&V techniques.

7. COMPGC22 - Software Engineering @ UCL (a Benchmark)
After completing the course attendees will be able to:   
Appreciate the wider engineering issues that form the background to develop complex and evolving software-intensive systems.
Plan and demonstrate an effective software engineering process, based on knowledge of widely used development lifecycle models.
Employ group working skills including general organization, planning and time management and inter-group negotiation.
Capture, document and analyze requirements.
Translate requirements specification into an implementable design, following a structured and organized process.
Make effective use of UML, along with design strategies such as defining a software architecture, separation of concerns and design patterns.
Formulate a testing strategy for a software system, employing techniques such as unit testing, test driven development and functional testing.
Evaluate the quality of the requirements, analysis and design work done during the module.
