ELEC1005: Introduction to Software Engineering
This unit of study will introduce student to the field of software engineering. It will expose the students to fundamental (basic) concepts of key areas within software engineering including Requirement Engineering, Software Design (Architecture and Modeling), Software Quality Engineering, and Software Process Engineering. This unit also provides students with practical experience to start to develop the required engineering skills through case studies of authentic open-source software projects and hands-on development experience of software projects in a group, as well as communication, documentation, and presentation skills. The unit will provide students with a sound foundation for the further study of software engineering.
