| Description/Outcomes | Software engineering is a critically important area for the future of application and/or systems development. Students must learn about software engineering to be able to create more complex software systems. Software engineering is now such a huge area. This course provides an introduction to software engineering disciplines with emphasis on: software life cycle, process models, requirements specification, architecture requirements, software design, rapid software development, verification, validation and testing of software. Thus, it gives students a broad view on the whole software development life cycle, and introduces techniques and standard documents used in each stage of the cycle. Moreover, during the course students undergo a team-based project with emphasis on the requirements, analysis and design phase. They use the unified modeling language as a method to model their systems. |
