Introduction
The demand of software engineering emerged to cater for the immense rate of change in user requirements and environment on which application is supposed to be working. B.Sc Software engineering is a detailed study of engineering to the design, development and maintenance of software. Software engineering was introduced to address the issues of low-quality software projects. Problems arise when a software generally exceeds timelines, budgets, and reduced levels of quality. It ensures that the application is built consistently, correctly, on time and on budget and within requirements.
Goals
- How to apply the software engineering lifecycle by demonstrating competence in communication, planning, analysis, design, construction, and deployment
- An ability to work in one or more significant application domains
- Work as an individual and as part of a multidisciplinary team to develop and deliver quality software
- Demonstrate an understanding of and apply current theories, models, and techniques that provide a basis for the software lifecycle.
- Demonstrate an ability to use the techniques and tools necessary for engineering practice
Objectives
- To be a successful professional in the field with solid fundamental knowledge of software engineering.
- Utilize and exhibit strong communication and interpersonal skills, as well as professional and ethical principles when functioning as members and leaders of multi-disciplinary teams.
- Apply their foundations in software engineering to adapt to readily changing environments using the appropriate theory, principles and processes.
