Course Description
Software development outside of the classroom is a very complex process, mostly because
real-world software is much larger and more complex. The purpose of this course is to present
software engineering as a body of knowledge. The course is designed to present software
engineering concepts, various process models (such as Evolutionary, Agile) and principles in
parallel with the software development life cycle.

The basics of SE start with Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) which has five major
phases: requirements gathering, requirements analysis, design, coding/ implementation, and
testing. There is will learning on software modelling using design languages and tools such as
Unified Modelling Language (UML), Simulink, UPPAAL, Ptolemy-II. UML is a standardized
general-purpose modelling language used to create visual models of object-oriented software.
You will be studying design process which includes Architectural Styles and Design Patterns.
You will also learn about project management for the purpose of delivering high-quality software
that satisfies customer needs and is within budget.

By the time the course is complete, you will learn software engineering concepts, principles, and
essential processes of the SDLC; Agile Process; you will demonstrate this knowledge by
creating UML artifacts for requirements gathering, analysis as well as design phases using an
object-oriented methodology.

2. For Closed Book tests: No books or reference material of any kind will be permitted.
3. For Open Book exams: Use of books and any printed / written reference material (filed or bound) is permitted.
However, loose sheets of paper will not be allowed. There is no use of Calculator. Laptops/Mobiles of any
kind are not allowed. Exchange of any material is not allowed.
4. Avoid Make-up Exams; try to appear in all regular examination.
5. Please keep in your mind that only genuine Recheck request will be entertain. When a student
applies for the recheck, entire answer sheet will be re-evaluated again; this procedure may increase
or decrease (as well) the marks. Non-genuine request may lead to minus marking sometimes. Be
careful.
