Course Description:

This course provides an in-depth study of the fundamental principles underlying Software Engineering. It covers the software lifecycle starting with requirements engineering, continuing through design, and implementation, and with integration and testing. It also examines key cross-lifecycle activities such as project management, measurement, and quality assurance. In particular, the material presented will address management issues associated with people, product, and process. A systematic approach to evolve software is emphasized recognizing the dependencies between software development and maintenance activities. Specific topics will focus on software process and project measurements, project planning, risk analysis, project scheduling and tracking.

This course will present modern approaches to the current techniques used in software design and development.
