Educational Aims of the Module

  • This module starts with a general overview of software engineering principles and concepts and puts them in a correspondence with the more comprehensive discipline of systems engineering.
  • Project management aspects of software and systems development are addressed as well. It also focuses on practical projects, where students need to build various software systems.
  • The module then focuses on advanced programming and engineering principles. Various project management issues are covered.
  • The main outline of the module is to address various software engineering problems, and some common solutions on the level of design, architecture, and implementation. New trends in software engineering are discussed as well.
  • The lab hours will be used for researching topics studied in class, advanced programming, conducting projects and assistance.
  • Within this module we cover ethics and professional responsibility.
  • Software engineering is carried out within a social and legal framework that limits the freedom of people working in that area
  • As a software engineer, one must accept that his/her job involves wider responsibilities than simply the application of technical skills.
  • They must also behave in an ethical and morally responsible way if they are to be respected as a professional engineer
