Semester : Fifth

I. RATIONALE
Software Engineering is the foundation for professional processes to be followed for designing, developing, testing and maintaining software involving principles, different techniques, and practices for software development. This course enable students to develop requisite abilities to follow systemic and disciplined approach to software development that aims to create high quality, reliable and maintainable software.
II. INDUSTRY / EMPLOYER EXPECTED OUTCOME
Apply software engineering principles to develop software product.
III. COURSE LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES (COS)
Students will be able to achieve & demonstrate the following COs on completion of course based learning
CO1 – Select suitable software development process model
CO2 – Prepare software requirement specification.
CO3 – Construct different Software design models
CO4 – Apply different planning and cost estimation techniques for a software product
CO5 – Apply project management techniques in software development.
