If I understand UIUC’s requirements correctly, the SE courses (CS 427-428 or 427-429) would substitute for some other type of senior project in one or two courses (CS 499 or 492-493, or 492-494); one of the choices is required for CS majors. Based on the catalog descriptions:

499 is undergraduate academic research
492-493 or 492-494 involves solving “typical commercial or industrial problems”
427-428 or 427-429 are more about software engineering methods

Correct?
