• General information

This is an introductory course for software engineering. We assume that students taking the course do not have any prior knowledge in the software engineering. The course is homework and project oriented and a large part of the grade comes from the project and homework assignments. This class is NOT restricted to Information Technology majors and, indeed, students from other majors in Engineering take the course.

What do we learn in this course?
0.       What are systems, subsystems, SDLC, system analyst
1.       Project management
2.       Identifying and selecting systems development projects
3.       Initiating and planning systems development projects
4.       Analysis
4.1.   determining system requirements
4.2.   structuring system requirement
4.2.1.         process modeling (DFD)
4.2.2.         logic modeling
4.2.3.         conceptual data modeling (ERD)
5.       Design (logical and physical)
5.1.   Forms and reports
5.2.   Interfaces and dialogues
5.3.   Databases (logical, physical)
5.4.   Programs and process
5.5.   Distributed systems
(Implementation, Maintenance)
