The second half of the course consists of a case study. The class is presented with a large distributed system to develop. Students are given roles: Project Manager, Software Architect, Test Manager, Team Leader, and Team Member. There are usually three or four development teams and a prototyping team. The class then manages the development of this system, using a standard development process model, including formal reviews. The instructor acts as the customer, but does not participate in managing the project except, perhaps, for occasional advice. The project has a development process schedule, with formal reviews, and a final qualification test at the end of the semester.
