Course Description

About software engineering course

Introduction

Software engineering is the branch of computer science that creates practical, cost-effective solutions to computing and information processing problems, preferentially by applying scientific knowledge, developing software systems in the service of mankind.  This course covers the fundamentals of software engineering, including understanding system requirements, finding appropriate engineering compromises, effective methods of design, coding, and testing, team software development, and the application of engineering tools.  The course will combine a strong technical focus with a capstone project providing the opportunity to practice engineering knowledge, skills, and practices in a realistic development setting with a real client.

Objectives

  • An understanding of different software processes and how to choose between them
  • How to elicit requirements from a client and specify them
  • Design in the large, including principled choice of a software architecture, the use of modules and interfaces to enable separate development, and design patterns.
  • Understanding good coding practices, including documentation, contracts, regression tests and daily builds.
