Course Description

Software engineering is the branch of computer science that creates practical,

organized, well-developed, cost-effective solutions to computing and information processing

problems, preferentially by applying scientific knowledge, and developing software systems.

This course introduces students to the basic concepts, principles and dynamics ofsoftware engineering. This course covers the fundamentals of software engineering, including

understanding system and software requirements ( how to collect, prioritize, inspect and

analyze them), finding appropriate engineering compromises, effective methods of design,

coding, and testing, team software development, and the application of engineering tools (i.e.

CASE tools). The course will include a toy or prototype project providing the opportunity to

practice engineering knowledge, skills, and practices in semi realistic development settings

within the academic classes.

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge in programming

Computer Systems Engineering / CSE205

Course Objectives:

To assist the students in understanding the basic theory of software engineering,

and to apply these basic theoretical principles to a group software development project.

To help students to develop skills that will enable them to construct software of

high quality, software that is reliable, and that is reasonably easy to understand, modify

and maintain.

To foster an understanding of why these skills are important.

Learning Outcome and End Use:

After completing this course the students would be able to:

Define the Concepts and terminology of systems and software engineering.

Recognize the difference between the different approaches and techniques of software

engineering.

Understand the principles and techniques underlying the process of planning and

managing software projects.

Use the appropriate methods and tools for analyzing problems for which software isto be developed.


2/5

Recognize the importance of prototyping and modeling techniques and technologies

in the process of software development.

Apply the appropriate software design methodologies, and models.

Apply one or more of the available CASE tools to some aspects of building

information systems.

Understand the application of computing in a business context.

Solve a wide range of problems related to the analysis and design software. Analysis and design of a system of small size.

Be able to design, write and debug computer programs in appropriate languages.

Plan and undertake a major individual project, prepare, deliver coherent and

structured verbal and written technical report.

Be able to display an integrated approach to the development of communication

skills, use IT skills and display mature computer literacy, strike the balance between self

reliance and seeking help when necessary in new situations, and display personal

responsibilities by working to multiple deadlines in complex activities.
