Software Engineering

The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge of software development problems and the processes and methods used to address them. The course will talk about software life cycle models, goals and methods for requirements analysis and specification, software design, implementation, integration and testing. This course also will try to equip students with skills in programming techniques to support information systems development, and modeling languages such as UML.
