Objectives: 1 To impart a firm understanding of what it means to be a software engineer 2 To discuss the differences between programs and engineered software produced via a software production process. 3 To impart an understanding of software development lifecycles, the phases and activities of a lifecycle, and the artifacts (documents and code) created in each phase of a lifecycle. 4 To cover Requirements Analysis, including use cases, traditional requirements gathering techniques, and user interface prototypes as a tool for obtaining customer feedback. Expected Outcome: Student will possess the skills necessary to: 1 Understand the principles of software engineering outlined above. 2 Be able to create and use planning, requirements analysis, domain analysis and design artifacts and carry them into code. 3 Be capable of taking the role of systems analyst in a software development organization 4 Be able to document all phases of the software development processes UnitI SoftwareProcess Introduction: Problem Domain Software Engineering Challenges Software Engineering Approach.
