This project was part of our Software Engineering I class at Florida International University, which took place in our Summer 2020 semester.
This is a course designed as a CS upper level course in which students learn how to develop a complex software engineering project by using agile software engineering principles.
Students work as a team with the Scrum framework to create a production level-software product that will is demoed at the end of the semester.
In addition, the course covers traditional software engineering concepts such as system design with UML and testing principles.
