This course introduces software engineering as a discipline. It starts
with a general introduction on the evolution of the discipline, then
introduces the software life-cycle, software processes, requirement
analysis, design, implementation, testing. This course covers the
various Software Development Processes and requires students to
appreciate and apply various aspects of software engineering
principles. Classical Software Development Life-cycles from waterfall,
spiral, incremental, evolutional to recent lean, agile methods and
component based systems are covered. Special emphasis is put on
quality and process improvement models.
