The Software Design Project offered through the Department of Computer Science at Tufts University is a course in which student teams complete a substantial "real world" project provided by sponsors drawn from university, industry, and other research organizations. Projects are directed by the professor and developed under the direction of the members of the sponsoring organization.

Project proposals are solicited during the summer and early in the fall semester for presentation to students in late November. Proposals should be very brief descriptions of ideas for projects and should be submitted to Professor Stafford by November 20. Upon return from Thanksgiving break these proposals will be given to the students who have registered for COMP190; students then form teams, select projects, contact the project sponsor, and begin work on their project. See "About Software Design Project" for more information about the course.
