Software Engineering

Description

Software Engineering is concerned with the production of large software systems that are reliable, efficient and precisely meet the requirements of their users. Software engineers will be increasingly in demand as software becomes ever more complex and critical to our society.

The major areas of Software Engineering include methodologies for:
  • Specifying, designing, coding, and testing new software systems
  • Demonstrating that a software component correctly implements its specification
  • Maintaining existing systems, including correcting errors and adding new functionality
  • Dealing with specialised situations such as distributed and parallel computing.
