Software engineering is a detailed study of engineering to the design, development and maintenance of software. Software engineering was introduced to address the issues of low-quality software projects. The outcome of software engineering is an efficient and reliable software product. The candidates would learn about different process models, analysis and documentation of software requirement system. They will learn on different software analysis and design models and techniques. They will also learn on software project management fundamentals and various testing, debugging and validation techniques of software development.
