Course Objectives

1-The main objective of this course is to provide students with a broad perspective on Software  Engineering, an overview of the software engineering discipline

2- Present the differences between software engineering discipline and other discipline of engineering;   introduce the ethical and professional responsibility of the software engineer.

3- Explain the project management and the role of management on the success of the project.

4- Explain the process of software engineering, feasibility study, collecting requirements, validation and verification. Introduce the system models.

5- Explain the architectural design and the effect of the environment on the type of design we choose for the system.

Intended Learning Outcomes and Competences

• Fundamental knowledge in software process and the activities of this process, the differences of software process and system engineering process.
• Fundamental knowledge in the management activities, planning, scheduling and monitoring…
• Fundamental knowledge in the requirements engineering process and its activities.
• Fundamental knowledge in system and its model such as context, behavioral, data, and object models, context diagram.
• Fundamental knowledge in system architectural design such system structuring, control models, and modular decompositions
• The ability to analyze, design, constructs, realize and validate systems from hard- and software using principles and techniques of software engineering.
• The ability to translate specific requirements on hard- and software systems into correct and efficient solutions.
• The ability to participate in a group project involving design using UML and implementation of the design.
• The ability to develop alternative design solutions to a given problem and recommend the best one within limitations of cost, time, knowledge, existing systems, and organizations.
