SOFTWARE ENGINEERING I
INSTRUCTOR : S. Zer Afshan Goher

INTRODUCTION Software engineering is about the development and application of processes and tools for managing the complexities inherent in creating high quality software systems. This course introduces the fundamental software engineering concepts and terminology and aims to give students both a theoretical and a practical foundation. Topics covered and/or introduced include software, process models, requirements analysis and specification, software development, preliminary design, detailed design, implementation and testing The implementation of Software Engineering knowledge is essential; therefore, student will be guided through a group course project in such a way that they can conveniently understand the need of software engineering for production of quality software within specified schedule and cost. Objectives The ultimate goal of this course is that, software engineering I students should have knowledge about important areas of software engineering such as Software Requirement Engineering, Software design, Implementation, Software project management, Software testing , Maintenance etc. 1. Be able to comprehend the knowledge in effective manner 2. Be able to implement the knowledge through course project Teaching Methodology Class lectures, book reading, classical s/w Eng research articles, presentation & course project Grading Policy

Assignments, Quizzes, Presentation, Course Project Policy The quizzes will be unannounced and normally last for 5-10 minutes. The question framed is to test the concepts involved in the last few lectures and/or reading assignments. It will be the instructors will to choose the number of quizzes for evaluations purposes. In order to give practice and comprehensive understanding of subject, home assignments will be given. The students are advised to do the assignment themselves. Copying of assignment is highly discouraged and taken as cheating case and will be forwarded for disciplinary action. The questions in assignments are more challenging to give students the confidence and extensive knowledge about the subject and enable them to prepare for the exams. Attendance Policy As per university rules every student must maintain at least 75% attendance. Student should try to attend all lectures. There are bonus marks for maximum attendance. Copy Case Zero tolerance in case of copy in any assignment or tests.
