Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, as well as maintenance of software, and the study of these approaches. This course is concerned with all aspects of software production; developed programs and associated documentation

Describe principles, concepts and practice of software engineering.
Explain the methods and processes of constructing the different types of software Systems
Apply techniques and tools of software engineering within the context of systematic construction of quality software
