BACK TO DISCIPLINE

Software Engineering can be explained as the development and elaboration of computer applications, systems, and programs. It is also said to be the study of creating, designing, developing, testing, and preserving software. In today's technological world software engineering plays a significant role in bringing forth comfort and convenience to users through digital devices that runs software.

There are two types of software engineering, front-end software engineering, and back-end software engineering. The front end consists of software that interfaces with the visual ends of a program, whereas the back end is the process of developing applications and systems that are only partially used by clients and administrators.

Software Engineering courses focus on algorithms, coding, debugging, and programming language. Students learn how to design, prototype, test microchips, circuits, processors, drivers, and any other component in computers or systems all throughout the course. They also learn about the relationships between software and hardware, machine operation, databases, and networks, among other topics. They are also instructed to develop software that can be used to fully exploit the hardware through operating systems and applications.

Employability:

Software Engineers often have to design programmes and work to improve their developments by applying the principles and methods of engineering. They typically collaborate with system programmers, analysts, and fellow engineers to generate information for system designs, data improvement, interface performance, and user needs analysis
