About Course
Software engineering is the application of engineering to software that includes documenting the requirements of the software through application of basic design principles. Software engineers also learn to analyze and design alternatives keeping in mind the utility of the finished product and whether the final product meets its requirements. At the same time they are also trained to realize the safety, reliability, cost-affectivity and functional aspects of the software.
Software engineers learn to research, devise, experiment and maintain software systems as per the requirements of the client. They are well-versed in computer programming languages and applications.
You can join small and large-scale business establishments, government agencies, and non-profit organizations as full-time employees, on contract basis or even as freelancers. One can expect various roles in an organization that include analysts, architects, developers, testers, technical support, managers and also researchers.
