About this class
Software engineering is an engineering approach on a software development of systematics application. A software engineer is a person who applies the principles of software engineering to design, develop, maintain, test, and evaluate computer software. The term programmer is sometimes used as a synonym, but may also lack connotations of engineering education or skills.
Software engineering is a concept in and of itself, but to better understand it, you need to know what each part of the term means before you can fully understand how they operate together. It can be difficult to understand, even though it does seem straightforward. That is because the pieces are more complicated than many believe - and working with software engineering for an application is difficult and time-consuming.
