Software Engineering

Description

This course introduces students to the principles and practices of software engineering. It covers various topics at a basic or foundational level.
 Students will learn about software development methodologies, requirements engineering, software design, testing, and maintenance. The course begins with an overview of software engineering concepts and methodologies, including agile software development. It then covers requirements engineering, including techniques for eliciting, analyzing, specifying, and validating software requirements.
Students will also learn about software design principles and techniques, such as object-oriented design, design patterns, and architectural styles. The course includes an overview of software testing methodologies, strategies, and tools for ensuring software quality.
Additionally, students will explore software version control, maintenance, and evolution, including techniques for managing and updating software systems over time, such as Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Practical projects and assignments will provide hands-on experience with software engineering practices.
